egoista dynasty

Parehong-pareho ang gameplans nila Barzaga (Dasma mayor) at Castillo (Bacoor mayor). Both have reached the maximum number of terms as mayor in their respective towns. What to do? Make their wives run for their former positions as they themselves run for Congress.

Congress - a much better alternative if you want to stay in power and be far more filthy rich.

Why make their unexperienced wives run? There may be a lot of reasons to it. I'm thinking: to stay in power, to remain in control of the business transactions happening in town, to hold office until their kids are old enough to take the position from them (yeah dynasty!), to remain beneficiaries of progess, or to serve their beloved people (to continue what their husbands have started, blahblah). Everyone knows the last reason's just for cover.

Castillo. He wasn't able to do anything about the annoying traffic situation in Bacoor during the length of his 3 terms! The hell. Nagsuggest nga siya thru a large billboard sa MMDA, anong silbi nun? Why set the billboard up in Bacoor? MMDA nga. He should have put it up in the Cavite-Metro Manila exit. Sino mga napepeste sa traffic situation sa Bacoor? Lahat. Bacoor's the north end of Cavite, so it's nearest Metro Manila. But there's one thing amusing about him. I can't help but laugh everytime I see his face in the numerous billboards and posters in Bacoor. He looks like Moe (the tavern owner) from The Simpsons! hahaha! Last year he ordered the Bacoor Police Station to be closed. Why? Because he said he was against the political dynasty threatening to take over Bacoor if Strike Bautista (Revilla) won for mayor against him in the coming elections. Then he makes his wife run. Wouldn't that be political dynasty just the same? What an outright MORON. Tagalog: BOBO. See this.

Barzaga. I give him credit for Dasma's becoming a 1st class urban municipality (and the light traffic situation). I appreciate the escalator-overpass being constructed, but I hate the fact he started the project during the campaign period. What a very obvious ploy to make voters select him and his wife. Plus the vanity! He uses government funds to display pictures of him with his family around town. The pictures come with friendly government reminders, but the images are more noticeable than the reminders themselves.

I can only hope they lose.
