Politics in Jagna Bohol

The next battleground of a battle royale among candidates to capture the mayoralty saddle is this coastal municipality of Jagna, Bohol.

This early among the early birds who are trumpeting their aspirations to become the next mayor of Jagna are prominent names like Fortunato 'Bicbic' Abrenilla, a top brass of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Then the name Joseph Rañola is making a lot of political noise these days especially after he launched last Saturday his JR or Jagna Renaissance program.

Assuming a double meaning for purposes of name recall, JR is either Joseph Rañola or Jagna Renaissance. This political gimmick took the municipality by storm last Saturday when the Jagna native assembled through well known personalities to grace the occasion who included Muntinglupa Rep. Raffy Biazon. 

For Abrenilla, he has not thought yet of how he will launch his candidacy with a bang but there is no mistaking that he is running for mayor. 

But the wild card in Jagna's battle royale is the crucial support of incumbent Mayor Exuperio Lloren. 

If Abrenilla is to be believed, his candidacy is fortified by the supposed support of Mayor Lloren.

If so, then Abrenilla enjoyed the upper hand among the mayoralty contenders considering that Lloren is a well-loved mayor of Jagna for three terms.

The Jagna mayoralty scramble attracted several big time wannabes after the post is vacated by Lloren who shall have completed his term tenure thus making the top municipal post a level playing contest. 

Two other financially loaded candidates are also joining the fray. Both identified with the lucrative seafaring business, Capt. Cipriano Madera and Paris Macarayan are also salivating for the Jagna mayoralty. The two mayoralty hopefuls are said to have built around their fame and fortune for helping a multitude of Jagna seafarers.

As for Abrenilla, it was not known who is his running mate is. But if he has his way, what he wanted is for his team mate to be selected in a convention. - Sunday Post

Bohol Scandal Exposed in Loboc, Bohol

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
