OUR PEOPLE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN:

* Paging Sr./Supt Isagani Nerez: It's been one year and two weeks since Mayor Julian Resuello and his bodyguard Eulogio Martinez were gunned down in San Carlos City. Another two killings, that of lawyer Conrado Soriano Jr. also in San Carlos and lawyer Alejo "Alex" Dojillo in San Fabian,  took place over thereafter. What's the score?

* Paging Chief Superintendent Romeo Hilomen: Will you investigate the existence of media-yola which is supposed to have existed in Region I during the time of your predecessor?

* Paging Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez: It's been one year and two months and two weeks since JLD Motorworks and General Services was found to have illegally collected fees through towing and clamping operations in Dagupan. When will the city council  finally investigate it and establish who were responsible and who benefited from it?
