Enjoy reading and gear up for the coming elections!


Reporter: Mayor, how do you answer the question raised by your constituents why you chose your son to be the head of the City Development Council?
(interpretation: Mayor, ano po ang masasabi ninyo sa tanong ng mga nasasakupan nyo kung bakit ang anak nyo na hindi naman government official ang pinili ninyong mamuno sa City Development Council?)

Mayor: You know, my son is very much capable to do the job. I believe in what he can do for the development of our beloved city.
(interpretation: Tinatanong pa ba yan? Last term ko na. Kailangan ngayon pa lang eh makilala na si Dyunyor at mabigyan nang mas maraming exposure. Tingin nyo ba aalis ako ng ganun-ganon na lang sa City Hall? Ano, bale?)
