It’s GO! for Bong Go para senado

By Gonzalo Duque

 

OVER the weekend, the country– including the province– was rocked by this nasty Bitcoin money-making business.

Sabi ko na nga eh… wala sanang ganyanan! Imagine, with a few hundred pesos investment, you become a millionaire! Hindi lang, billionaire pa! You must have read the recent headlines involving a couple in Nueva Ecija– Ordoñez family– who made off with about a billion pesos on this account!

Que barbaridad!

We got our info on this from Jun Velasco, president of the Pangasinan Breakfast Club, who lamented about an incident at Atchi Mita Duque’s President Hotel during a media forum.

It turned out that three guests invited by Harvent School president Tita Hamada, namely, Gemar Calimbayan, Marlon de Jesus and Carl (and Angie) Lozano were given a low down by former Customs man Butch Merrera for bringing to Pangasinan the Bitcoin thing.

The incident upset the guests but cooler heads intervened. Our info said a slapping incident followed.

The three guest speakers went to the police to complain, yon pala inunahan na pala sila ni Butch to air his complaint.

Naturally, the host, Atchi Mita, deplored the incident, allowing her to re-state a policy on media forum, quoting the philosopher Voltaire – or was it not Disraeli?, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.”

Sincerely, we hope this matter is resolved with dispatch. It’s a call for level-headedness even amidst heated controversy!

                  Summer is almost here! In other words, frolic is here in Pangasinan and specifically in Dagupan.

                  Our beautiful beaches beckon everyone!

                  Walang tatalo sa atin on summer fun.

                  Kaya lang, sana alerto ang mga opisyales na huwag hayaan sinoman na magkakalat at magdudumi sa bigay ng Diyos na ito sa atin. Huwag tularan ang Boracay! Sorry, talaga, sa mga taga-Boracay, one the major tourists’ destination yan. Kaput la! Temporary though.

                  Talagang lesson ang Boracay, mga igan!

                  Ha!!! Duterte on the way out?

Nope, he is on the way out to the top! Since when have we experienced a functional presidency on the drugs, corruption and illegal issues? Ngayon lang, di ba?

Noong unang panahon, hindi tayo friends ng China at Russia… panay America lang.

Now, lahat kaibigan. Yan ang tunay na sovereignty. Friends all for world peace! Mabuhay!

          IT’s now a GO for Bong Go, folks!

                  The model government Presidential Assistant Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go is being urged by all sectors to make good his bid, which is a growing popular clamor, to run for senator.

                  The beauty of this development is that it confirms the news that we shall have elections as legally scheduled.

                  Bong Go typifies a government worker who is faithful to his job. And as Aesop would have it, a faithful government will make a good leader. Right?

                  Hindi tulad ng iba dyan, nakaapak lang sa tugatog ng temporary power ng isang araw, ay nagiging leech na. Letsi talaga!
