(Conf, on page 8) 8 > THE BICOL STAR * September 16, I9») ★ ★ "The Star Witness” • By ELIX ABEJERO > Politician, the Queerest of all Animal In the City of Naga, in spite of the fact that some Liberals wanted to loss in this coming elections, the Nacionalistas in general doesn’t want to win. Aod the queerest yet, among the families deeply involved in the city politics is one who expects to reap faith and confidence out of the seeds of intrigue and jealousy that it now sows. ★ ★ ©f courie there is no truth to the rumor that the candidacy of a former Liberal in the city of Naga is being financed out of the NP campaign fund, for obvious reasons. ★ ★ As an organization, the "Citizen for Good Government Committee" would sound mere convinc ng if it were beaded by an executive who doesn’t run a compla nt ridden telepone company. Certain y, the good government Naguinos want - is not the "goad government" run the Natelce way. * ¥ As of this writing (Friday), only Armsndo Cladera ol the NP and Apo onio Maleniza of the LP, are known >o be on the run for for the much coveted governorship of the province of Camarines Sur. Ramon Hernandez hat his papers (certificate of candidacy) ready for filing as soon as he receives advise from Malacanang. Hep. Felix Fuenteb ila and Emilio Tib'e Jr., are likewise ready to dispute the aspiration of Cledera and Maleniza by way of filing their own candidacies for the same position. -k ★ Rep. Sebastion Caruso Moll, Jr. however, is the fellow who holds the ‘ Ace’’ in the current game of ‘ wits” and “guts". While theNPs hopes that he runs, AGM piays that he (Moll) shouldn't. For one thing, Moll possesses the right characteristic of a leader the LP is longing for in this province. The next ' move” therefore - is Molls’s, ★ ★ A lady engineer virtually called Gov. Maleniza a liar, io the course of her explanation to the official demand for clarification bv Vice Gov. Odiamar regarding a supposed statement of Gov. Maleniza that appeared in a local paper mot the Bieol Star), to the effect that Odiamar spent his 70,000 pesos PW allotment in only one project, and that the expenditure of the same having been made "miraculously" ★ ★ For, how indeed! could Odiamar possibly mis-spent any public works fund or allotment when it is the Governor who approves the vouchers and payrolls; including the requisition for supplies and materials, needless to mention the fact of course that Odiamar was all the while confined in a Quez n City hospital during the time when the subject PW project was prosecuted by the provincial engineers under Mr. Maleniza’s administration and supervision.

So a number o/ political leaders told us. Would that mean more money to line up their pockets? ★ ★ The choice of Gov. Peping S. Estevez of Albay by no tess than Pres. Marcos, to run for re-election under the NP banner, a number of friends told us, augurs unprecedented progress for Albay. It would mean unlimited public works improvement and rural development. In his speech during a huge proclamation rally at Legazpi Port the President told Gov. Estevez to prepare and submit to him projects amounting no less than ¥300,000. That .would also mean reduction, of unemployment in the province, ★ ★ Some friends asked us: Why had Gov. Estevez been changing parlies? to ...clarify matters and set the record s raight, we brought this question to the youthful and affable Albay provincial executive. He said: The windfall that lhe province will receive froni Malacanang will eventually mean progress for Albay. I believe that one has to disregard sometimes one's party loyalty if it would mean more benefits for the people.” ★ ★ Political observers are of the opinion that lhe Albay NP provincial slate is a team hard to beat. Powered by Gov. Estevez. he counts with the assistance of Board Member Jess Salalima and his running mate for the governorship. Known as “Mr. Nacionalista”, Salalima is popular with the mas-, ses. ★ ★ Pres. Marcos muit be a master political strategist. During his recent visit here, he was able to iron out NP squabbles to the satisfaction of everybody. For the first district} he was able to convince Board Member Poloy Bocalbos, another NP loyalist, to forget his gubernatorial aspiration and run as a good follower for the unity of the party.” ★ ★ Another partyman, Maning Aytona, brother of our favorite Senator, Bading Aytona, buried his vice gubernatorial plan and accepted a draft as member of the provincial board this coming November elections. He represents the second district. For the third district, young Obet Reverente of Oas was equally happy with his candidacy for board membership. (^Messages My. District, the “Lone District of Masbate”, an island province and one of the components of the Bieol provinces. Though we are such distance we always consider ourselves Bicolanos. May I therefore, join the people of Bicolandia during this REGIONAL ANNUAL FESTIVAL in honor of the Virgin of Penafrancia that always continually bless us with peace, brotherhood and understanding. I am honored in extending my warmest greetings and sincere felicitations to everyone. Manila, September 8 1967. (Sgd.) Rep. ANDRES CLEMENTE, JR. Lone District, Masbate It gives me immense pleasure to greet the people of the Bieol Region on the occasion of the feast day of their Patron Saint, Our Lady of Penafrancia. Mauy are the blessings, both spiritual and material, which we have received due to the intercession of our Lady. Our region is truly one of the most religious areas in our land. We have contributed many of our sons and daughters to the various Catholic religious orders as well as to the secular clergy. Some of our sons have risen to high echelons in the hierarchy, These are indeed blessings for which we should be grateful and of which we can be justly proud. The Bieol Peninsula is a rich agricultural region. We are almost self sufficient in everything. This is proven by the fact that although many areas in the country suffered starvation and want during the last war, the Bieol people were relatively prosperous during those dark days of our history. For all these manifold blessings, we should raise our thoughts and our hearts in fervent prayer of gratitude to our Patron Saint. On this day, it is meet that we should ponder on her life, virtues and labors so that, imitating them, ure may achieve the dream of our lives by winning eternal life. (Sgd.) HON. SALVADOR R. ENCINAS Congressman, 1st District, Sorsogon
