Basic Needs of Boholano People

Vice Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera yesterday said Boholanos should focus on their basic needs instead of getting preoccupied with politics.

"There are more urgent concerns that demand our attention than spending so much time on political developments," he added.

The vice-governor said people can look for ways to maximize their livelihood potentials according to their own resources.

He said they can plant cash crops on idle lands in their backyard or raise animals to tide them over.

"I am not saying that government has no responsibility over its citizens," the vice governor stressed.

Herrera said that what he means is for people to do something positive instead of doing nothing.

"There is a time for politics and a time for work. Our people should know the difference," he added.

Herrera said that if the people feel their elective officials have failed them, this should be a lesson for them to choose carefully the next time.

"It is not right for them to just complain and do nothing for themselves," he added.

The vice-governor said people have an instinct for self-preservation which they should put to good use.

He said the people who survive are the ones who prepare for the worst by doing something about it.

"If there is a shortage of rice, the ones who planted something will not go hungry," he noted.

Herrera said it is lamentable that many people spend more time following political developments without doing anything.

"Whether we like it or not, the next election is still two years away from now," he added.

The vice-governor said it will not matter much who will be elected if the situation deteriorates.- Sunday Post

Exposed Captured on the spot

Antonio Ong Guat, the founder of Bohol Quality Store

From Sunday Post   I pay my sincerest condolences to Antonio Ong Guat, the founder of Bohol Quality Store . My family especially my late Mom owed a lot of gratitude to him. Little is known of the fact that my Mom as a school teacher, was making school teaching charts with her crude rubber printing set. I used to accompany her to Tagbilaran to buy her supplies at Bohol Quality Store, and bought her supplies direct from Ong Guat. Suki niya si Ong Guat to the point that he would attend to her when she goes to the store. In fact, nagpapautang pa siya ni Mom, which she paid when she sold her teaching materials to the new teachers. I suggest that the provincial and city governments should honor Ong Guat with a posthumous award in recognition of his efforts to be the founder of a business empire in Bohol, which has presently employed thousands of Boholanos presently. I think everybody agrees that his store sparked business to its fullest heights today. Fred Ong and his wife Babs Gonzaga we
