Posted by ritrittokik | September 21, 2014, 9:58 pma caucus sppearheaded by NGOS is good only in the making but for the implimentation i doubt. the church can not even condemn killings during mass when the suspected perpetrators are present. the comelec is inutile in flying voters and the PNP and army can not even withdraw their troops from the capitol.
Posted by eric shawn | September 21, 2014, 10:37 pmFinally your comments Eric have substance; continue the good work instead throwing ugly words to others, especially to the governor.
Yes, plans are good but implementation is different. Even our laws are really good because ithey are mostly copied from USA and other progressive countries, but the implementation is only for the best interest of the powerful- the politicians, especially the political dynasties and their tuta. Look what happened to the rampant vote buying during the last election. The criminal cases are gone with the wind by the power also of the glitter of gold. What happened to the countless elligal guns and murders we have had in Abra? Pera, pera lang. Everything is for sale, it depends only on the prices. Our law enforcers are not exempted, if they are not involved in violence, the words of the power that be is more supreme above their sworn duty to uphold the law. Everybody seems to be interested only in money instead of serving others. Let us see what will happen to the chief of PNP Purisima, vice Binay, and the other law makers involved in plunder cases.

Posted by eric shawn | September 23, 2014, 8:58 amAt this time, it would be great if some of our politicians could say something encouraging and patriotic about these happenings.,,,killings in our beloved Abra..corruptions during election times Unfortunately, they will probably just criticize and grand stand. They never seem to support good governance and its up to us all to decide by 2016 who could be less devil
