Support for GMA reiterated
Mayor Leocadio C. de Vera Jr. of this municipality has reiterated his full support to the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who is embroiled in the jueteng issue and the wiretapping controversy.
De Vera said President Arroyo is a lady with a strong leadership and this was proven during the past several years. "Many attempts to destabilize her administration have been initiated but failed because the people supported her."
He said that topics toward the progress and development of the nation must be the priority of the Senate and House of Representatives, instead of spending too much time and attention to the jueteng and wiretapping issues.
De Vera said the allegations are being used by some elements to destabilize the administration. "Why not wait until 2010 when the term of President Arroyo ends."
He added that "Biskeg Ya Pangasinan" (Strength of Pangasinan), a powerful political group of which he is the executive vice president, although with members belonging to different political parties, are united and solid behind President Arroyo and support her "Strong Republic" thrust.
As secretary general of the Pangasinan Mayors League, De Vera said he has asked all mayors in the province to support the programs and projects of President Arroyo. "Let us bring her administration closer to the people." (Manila Bulletin, June 23, 2005)

I know that this posting is meant to inform Pilipinos abroad what is happening in Bayambang, I do believe most people would rather hear the people side of the story than the political side. Yes Bayambang got funded but what does the farmers think about it. Did the mayor ask the farmers what would be the best for them, or where to spend the money. Is the mayor a farmer? I was very young when I left the Philippines, even at young age, I realize that politician don't ask people enough. Does the mayor have an email where people can voice their opinion or ask questions?
