‘Create trouble for truth’ – Lenin

By Gonzalo Duque

 

POLITICAL analysts are at a loss in describing the fast moving events in the country these days.

We are not leftist, but the dizzying goings-on remind us of what Vladimir Lenin said when Russia was at the height of drastic change.

He said, “create trouble for truth.”

What’s important is that under a reform-oriented government, the interest and welfare of the majority are served.

Mabuhay ang masa, ang hoi poloi!

The record, the facts should speak for the truth. It’s only the present leadership that has turned things around for the better, for the people. Di ba?

Isa lang o dalawa ang case in point – illegal drugs, very basic yan. Second is, foreign affairs, diyan lang, namamayagpag na ang Duterte.

May nagtanong sa atin, “sir, sino ang mananalo sa eleksyon protest ni Bongbong kaya?

        Frankly we don’t know. And please don’t imply that may minamanok si President. Ok na sa kanya that fair ang proseso ang protest proceedings.

         Kayo naman ang tatanunging ko, aber? No one knows, except God.

Suddenly, our local natural attractions abundantly provided by nature – the scintillating Lingayen Gulf, gifted rivers, hills and verdant mountains – are attracting crowds of tourists and visitors everyday.

Let’s guard these bounties with all our might para di tayo matulad sa Boracay.

In case you forgot, there was a time in the past when – well not under Belen – some portions of Bonuan were being converted into mini-Boracay… mabuti naagapan.

Mahirap kontrahin ang human nature, greed, mapagsamantala.

NOTES: Brod Pincoy’s kids are in the news.

His daughter, Tia, finished medicine at UST as cum laude.

And Peepa, an Ateneo law alumna, just passed the bar.

Congrats!

As Aesop would put it, they can’t put a good man down. You know what we mean, in light of certain detractors pulling the rug from under a reformist Health secretary.

                  At press time, may ipinadagdag daw si Manny Baby, “agda tupakey manga no ag mabunga.”

Ayos!

                  Dagupan is the cynosure of the world?

Oo naman! Patindi nang patindi ang kasikatan ng Bangus fest.

Utang nating lahat yan sa lidership ni Mayor Belen.

Mabuhay ang mga Dagupenos!
