DPWH DIRECTOR WENCY TO EXIT REGION 6
OUR SOURCE from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) main office said Region 6 director Wenceslao Leano will be transferred to another assignment.
One of the reasons is that his performance “has not been spectacular.” Many contractors incurred negative slippages and their projects are substandard.
For instance, there are big contractors whose projects in Aklan have not commenced long after they got the awards a year ago, or even more.
“They simply abandoned their projects after getting the 15-percent mobilization fund,” an auditor in the main office of DPWH told Lapsus. contractors powerful and influential 15 percent they pulled out their equipment and “Kilala po nga lahat ‘yong mga na ‘yan. Mga moved to other projects,” he said. sila. Pagkatapos makuha nila ang
“Perhaps that is one of the main reasons why the stay of Director Leano in Iloilo is inutile,” another official said.
When Lapsus asked if the handsome director participated in the unholy sharing of the highly criticized “SOP” or from contractors, our confidential sources just smiled and said nothing. Such deplorable situation in Aklan is also true in other parts of the country. Graft and corruption is the worst evil in government that President Du30 wants to eradicate. But he failed and continues to fail to stop it. Is this true, Vivian? AS REPORTED, Iloilo City mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog resigned from the Liberal Party (LP) where he used to enjoy political graces and aplomb.
Many commented that he did so without any sound reason or justification, except that he would concentrate on his job as mayor of the highly urbanized city.
Some opined that the mayor considered his stay with the once monolithic party as an added burden to his political survival under the present administration of President Du30 who accused him of being a protector of illegal drugs.
Perhaps Mayor Jed failed to take prior cognizance of the fact that his resignation would antagonize his close relative and LP consequential leader Sen. Franklin Drilon, and former presidential contender Mar Roxas. It could be an error in judgment on his part.
So far, Mayor Jed has not yet revealed his party preference – whether the Nacionalista Party (NP) or PDP-Laban.
But he will surely have a hard time squeezing himself in to PDP-Laban. President Du30 himself will oppose his entrance. The latter looks at him with hateful abhorrence.
If he goes to the NP, Vice Mayor Joe the 3rd, who is close to the Villars, will howl a big protest. As of now, Mayor Jed is on tenterhooks. “There’s a time for everything: A time to laugh, and a time to cry,” President Du30, quoting the Bible, said a few days ago before the soldiers in Mindanao. Councilor Joshua “dies-dies” laughing! FORMER mayor Peter Paul Lopez and his son Carlos have been perpetually barred from holding government office by the Office of the Ombudsman because of nepotism.
During his time as mayor of San Dionisio, Mayor Peter Paul appointed his son as Licensing Officer.
Such act violates Section 79 of the Local Government Code, or Republic Act 7160, according to the Ombudsman.
“Perpetual” means “valid for all time, everlasting, or continuing forever”, according to the dictionary.
“Nepotism” means “favoritism shown to a relative by appointing him to an appointive job.”
The complainants were Sangguniang Bayan members Cash A. Jacomina, Danny C. Villanueva and Darwin Bajada.
Feeling that what they did was a right act of public service, the complainants mustered courage to file charges against the once feared mayor. Gone are the days of wine and roses for Mayor Peter Paul. We condole with him. THERE is no truth to reports that Dr. Henry Chusuey, majority owner of a posh subdivision in Barangay Nabitasan, La Paz, Iloilo City linking the bridge beside Regatta hotel, refuses to yield the subdivision road for public use so as to ease traffic congestion.
“I want the public to use it. It is not true that I am against the idea of opening that subdivision road for public use. But the subdivision is no longer mine. All the lots have been sold out. And the owners have their association officers who decide on what to do. I suggest that the city government negotiate with them, not with me anymore,” he said.
“Please clarify. I am not a selfish man, as your item said about me. I have never instructed anybody to block the subdivision road for the simple reason that I am not the owner of the subdivision,” the popular philanthropist pointed out.
Dr. Henry, president of the Hennan Group of prestigious hotels and resorts, has been donating school buildings in Boracay, Iloilo, Bohol, and other places in Metro Manila. ONE OF Aklan’s political stars is Board member Nemesio Neron. A former police director of the province of Aklan, Neron is one of the most distinguished and colorful Aklanons. He has etched a good name and reputation and contributed a lot of programs, advocacies and projects for public welfare and services.
Still young and hardworking, the bright member of the Provincial Board has a long way to go in his avowed mission to expand the frontiers of social justice, economic opportunities, and peace and order which are vital to the lives of Aklanons.
As a top police officer during his time, his specialty program relating to good governance is anchored on peace and order.
May your tribe increase, Sir!
