By Al S. Mendoza FINALLY, it’s here. Tomorrow, May 9, it is it. We will elect a president. As the famous Hemingway line goes, “The moment of truth.” Do yourself a favor, please? Do not vote for Bongbong Marcos. You will insult yourself, if you do. You will insult the…
By Gonzalo Duque THE elections will be over by Monday, and as far as Dagupan City is concerned, methinks the ticket of Belen Fernandez and Bryan Kua is unbeatable. My sense of Mayor Brian Lim is he devoted too much of his time, even when he was still vice mayor…
