The two most coveted positions (Governor and Bangued Mayor) in Abra for this coming 2016 Elections are being contested by two families. Two families who at some point where allies in the last elections.
Incumbent Bangued Mayor Dominic Valera against Outgoing Governor Takit Bersamin, Outgoing Congresswoman Joy Valera-Bernos against Governor’s wife Ruby Bersamin.
The question is, would you allow just one family to have political control? or you rather they split and maintain the status quo? Do you think this is a case of pick your own poison?
So which of these scenarios would you rather want to see happen?:
1. Ruby and Takit wins
2. Joy and Dominic wins
3. Ruby and Dominic wins
4. Joy and Takit wins
5. Gen. Antonio Viernes stole their thunder and win and either Dominic or Takit wins

Posted by IGNACIO TAMOLMOL | February 24, 2016, 10:31 pmHinde ako botante ng Bangued, pero gusto ko manalo si takit. Hayaan mo na ang 25 kapitan ni dominic 25 votes lang yon, basta yung mamayan kay takit. Marami ngsasabi, kunin daw ang pera ni doms pero si takit ang iboboto. Sa pagkagobernador, si maam ruby ang manok ko kasi ayoko sa mga suwapang. Sa pagkacongressman, try natin Bringas

Posted by eric shawn | February 25, 2016, 3:33 amA very responsible comment from Joy and Dominic pointing for loving their contituents for making bussinesses so people can have employment.
BY LOOKING CLOSELY ON THIS VIDEO YOU COULD TELL THE EYE AND BODY LANGUAGE OF TAKIT AND RUBY ARE BOTH LIARS AN INTIMIDATING ANSWERES TO ABRENIANS..
Posted by FIDEL CASTRO | February 25, 2016, 1:57 amParepareho lng silang swapang kaya voters vote the highest bidder for me il vote whom i know he can help my endeavor.
Posted by eric shawn | February 25, 2016, 8:03 amMOST PEOPLE IN ABRA ESPECIALLY IN BANGUED ADMIRE HOW JOY AND DOMINIC ANSWERED THIS INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESS …IT SHOWS THEIR GOALS AND INTENTION BY PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT TO ABRENIANS…
WHEN YOU LOOK AND LISTEN CLOSELY TO THIS MEDIA INTERVIEW YOU MAY NOTICE THE BODY LANGUAGE OF TAKIT AND RUBY THAT THEY ARE LIARS AND INTIMIDATING ANSWERS TO ABRENIANS….
THE WEIGHT AND CREDIBILITY OF THEIR ANSWERS IN THE MEDIA INTERVIEW GOES TO DOMINIC AND JOY
Posted by MANGKAKALLONG | February 25, 2016, 6:41 amAccomplishments at ka tahimikan ang pangunahin gusto ng mga botantes. Sa pamumuno lang ni boss Takit natikman ng karamihang bayan sa bulobundokin ng mahahabang sementadong kalsada. Ganon din sa patag, tulad ng mula highway papuntang San Isidro, viciosa, at Pilar sa loob lamang ng unang 2 yrs niya, na di nagawa ng mga nakaraang governador sa loob ng 50 yrs. Sa peace n order naman, siya lang ang walang PAGS at full support sa companya ng govierno laban sa Mga salot na ito kaya halos wala ng patayan sa politica ngayon. Naniniwala rin ako na mananalo si Dr L Bringas at maayos ang di gaanong kanaisnais na kalinisan ng Bangued.
Posted by KAPITAN | February 25, 2016, 12:27 pmYessssss! Kay Bersamin tayo para sa kapayapaan ng Abra!
Posted by Ringnoster | February 26, 2016, 7:13 amAre you kidding me? bersamin bought and uses the PNP and Army as their PAGS. This is smart move on their part but Abra people can read their moves. PNP and Army are being used as their security details, paid by our taxes, to neutralize their opponents PAGs.
Posted by Genti | March 8, 2016, 7:05 pmAng PNP at Army ay ginagamit laban sa PAGS at Security ay tama – tungkolin nila yan. Ginagamit ng Bersamin na PAGS, Mahiya ka namang mr Genti sa sarili mo. Ang PNP at Army ay professional groups at mga Bersamins NGAYON ay KATAHIMIKAN NG ABRA ANG PRIORIDAD NILA. Patunay nito si Gov Takit ay tumanggap ng award for ‘ BEST GOVERNANCE’ na kailan man di natikman ang Abra provincial governors. Isip isip bago magparatang, mahiya tayo naman sa sarili natin lalo sa tantiya ko medyo may edad na tayo.
Posted by CAPITAN | March 9, 2016, 6:40 amHOSPITAL , ROADS , SCHOOLS , BUILDINGS ARE FROM THE TAX PAYERS MONEY NOT FROM TAKITOS POCKET …THIS IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROJECTS NOT TO SHOW OFF….PEOPLE DONT OWE ANYTHING FROM THEM TAKITO HE IS THE ONE WHO OWE THE PEOPLE OF ABRA ..MORE PROJECTS IS BEING POCKETED THAN THE ACTUAL PROJECTS…ARMY AND POLICEMAN ARE IN HIDDEN PAYROLL AT THE CAPITOL ,,WHY …CAUSE THEY ARE BEING USED BY TAKITOS AS GOONS…PROOF LOOK AT THE MANPOWER PAYROLL EXPENSES IF YOU WORK AT THE CAPITOL..THERE IS NO SUCH THING CALLED PEACE AND ORDER IN ABRA I HAVE NO CLUE WHY YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT TAKIT IS DOING WELL IN ABRA..STAY IN ABRA AND OBSERVED WHATS GOING ON…PLEASE DONT MAKE EXAGGERATED STATEMENTS KAPITAN COME HOME AND DO THE MATH NINE YEARS FUNDING AGAINST THE PROJECTS THAT YOU ARE SAYING
Posted by KAWITAN | February 25, 2016, 8:49 pmWell, aminin na natin, si Takit ang pinakaraming ginawa sa Abra. Totoo galing taxpayers money. Wala namang nagsasabi na pera niya ang ginamit niya. Of course pera ng tao but at least ginamit niya sa proyekto. Di na kailangan umuwi dahil nakikita naman ang mga ibang politiko dito sa abroad na nanamasyal at nagshoshopping ng mga designers. Pinagshoshopping at pinamanasyal ang pera ng tao sa Abra. Kay Bersamin na lang tayo at ginagamit niya ang pera para sa proyekto
Posted by Ringnoster | February 26, 2016, 7:22 amfor me no politicians will engage in ghost project now a days bec of the string requirement of coa n the scrutinizing eyes of ombudsman morales. the issue is political will of a leader si tskit i dnt think he is a good leader bec he did nothing to stop the prevailent problem of abra whichbis impunity tyranny n tongpats he let them hsppen bec he himself involve of the priblem

Posted by HORMEL | February 27, 2016, 11:59 pmBago pa man naging governador si Boss Takit naipatayona ang commercial building dito sa malapit ng capitolyo. Dito malakas ang negosyo at maraming nagtratrabaho. Dumami ang negosiyo dahil tumahimik na ang Abra sa peace campaign ni Boss na suportado ng PNP at ibat’ibang govt force enforcers.
Posted by CAPITAN | February 29, 2016, 11:49 amDapat ‘ law enforcers’
Dati kilala ang Abra sa magigiting na pangalan tulad ni Gabriela, WW II hero Villamot, don Quitin Paredes. Tapos naging pangit sa ‘ killing field ‘ ng CAR, mga kinatawan ginamit ( binanggit dito sa A. com) ang pondo sa gasolinahan, hotel, river dredging sa Santa Barbara pangasinan, pagbilili ng libolibong night vision gamit ng PNP na wala raw naman. Ibalik ang dignidad ng Abrs – iboto ang matalino at mabait na pinuno, Dr Litong Bringas para diputado!

Posted by SATANAS | March 4, 2016, 9:37 amWe need a leader who will surely focus on the economic, tourism, education and peace development. Don’t get me wrong but we need a leader who will lead us to a better future not to dictate what will be the future. Personally I can see that Abra will gain a lot of development through tourism not just high rise buildings or well known fast food chains, but our place should be known for it’s beauty. And if I say development, WE as Abrenios should help hand in hand to attain this dream, we shall not expect all this to a leader because they themselves cannot move if we don’t cooperate. So, a leader should hear it’s people.
Posted by GiGi | March 4, 2016, 7:48 amNICE COMMENT GIGI NOT MOST BLOGGERS HERE IN A.COM HAS ONLY ONE EYE IS OPEN
Posted by PONSO PILATO | March 4, 2016, 9:21 amI PREDIC THAT KOLIGLIG WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL THIS ELECTION THE WAY HIS OPPONENT SPENDS THEIR ELECTION ASSETS ,
Posted by PONSO PILATO | March 5, 2016, 12:38 amThank you for appreciating and perhaps agreeing to my opinion Ponso Pilato. I hope I made myself clear. 🙂 I truly believe that a leader should hear it’s people because in that way he or she who will get the chance knows where to start for the development of our province. 🙂
Posted by GIGI | March 5, 2016, 6:39 amGigi, kasla koma tay kuna ni pinoy; “Kayo ang Boss ko” kasdiay kadi? Just clearing up.
Posted by Loud & Clear | March 9, 2016, 4:27 pmIt is in your own understanding Loud and Clear. Me myself was a leader of a big organization in a University. well it’s different from Government agency but they are still both from the government. So, as a leader it should be very clear to you that not all would be loyal to you, in 10 people only 2 are loyal to you another 2 for I don’t care and the rest are not loyal and just have no choice. My point is, no matter they are loyal or not you as a leader should hear the opinions of the people, let me ask you this, Does a leader know everything around them? I think no, tsaka lang naman nalalaman yan pag may nagreport or simply may nagsabi. “Kayo ang boss ko” in this statement of the president, what is your opinion? In my opinion I should reiterate it in “What is in your mind to help develop the economy?” that is my answer loud and clear. Awan met lang mapasamak kanyatayo nga Abrenio nu iasa tayo laeng dagiti lideres tayo, we ourselves should take action maybe not financialy but on how can we help in our own ways.
Sorry at nagnobela ako, I just tried to explain what I meant. 🙂
