In one of our blog roundups, we linked to a new news blog, the Northern Philippine Times where you can find stories about the Cordilleras and the northern part of the country. A good friend, Gina Dizon, also writes stories and a column for said paper/blog. She also promised to contribute to our blog and this is her first contribution, a piece on Mt. Province congressional candidate Jupiter Dominguez.
Please note that this is not a blog endorsement for Mayor Dominguez. Gina, I think, likes him as a candidate and as a prospective Congressman. I, on the other hand, can’t get over the fact that he belongs to a political family that has controlled the province for about 30 years. And although he has proven himself to be a very capable mayor, I believe that much of the problems in our country can be traced to the fact that political power is in the hands of only a very few families. The more that political power is spread to more people, and not concentrated to a few political dynasties, the better off we will be as a nation.
Every now and then, we upload comments from the comments section to the main page not because we agree with them but because of the important points raised by the commenter and it would be a shame if said points are not read by more readers. This comment, written on the entry, “Who’s the Richest of Them All?”, is one such comment which deserves a front page treatment.
Please note though that I sometimes edit the comments in order to a) protect my ass from libel suits and b) for brevity, coherence, etc. etc. However, the original comments in the comments section will remain unedited. Continue reading A Reader Comments on "Who’s the Richest of Them All?"→
