If a governor who is truly looking for jobs for his kabaleyans waits for “official invitation” from someone instead of doing his job and use the available vast resources (advisers, the labor attaché of the consular offices, and technology-internet), then what kind of governor is that?

Former Governor Colet, together with Father Carreon, were invited to Guam and were driven around the island the next day after the usual inaugural celebration, and Colet did not even acknowledge that person (then President of Pangasinan Association of Guam) when he returned to Pangasinan to deliver the association’s aid for the earthquake victims during a Rotary club meeting. And that was only a few months after his visit to Guam.

When I try to analyze why Colet did not recognize that person who looks like Ninoy Aquino, the only reason that I can think of was because he made and handed the check to the Rotary president instead of Colet.

I am sorry but I can not stomach the arrogance of most politicians, therefore, I will just refer your suggestion to some Pangasinenses here who like to rub elbows and be seen in pictures with public officials and celebrities.

If Gov. Spin is really going off island for a working visit, then he must pay his own way, not at somebody’s expense. Rubbing elbows with politicians is good if they really work for the good of the public,  politicians who are not arrogant and corrupt, and user.

Please understand that I am willing to help our kabaleyans, but I am just very cautious about people who try to exploit the poor people.

It is very common for wily people to use somebody’s name and collect fees just to provide BOLA-BOLA information to our poor kabaleyans.

The Governor may have good intentions, but those surrounding him may not.

Gawaen da kan “BARAAN”.
