Those tarps!
ILOILO CITY
August 22, 2015
Somebody should advise the person concerned to tear down tarp streamers congratulating himself as “most outstanding local chief executive” in the “highly urbanized city” category because it is misleading as it is ridiculuous.
These streamers are all over Yrong-Yrong and these are embarrassing -- as embarrassing as the acceptance by retired Gen. Douglas MacArthur of the title "Field Marshall" of Filipino troops in 1935. (Pres. Manuel L. Quezon, according R. Constantino, offered the title to the retiree to spite him and expose him as a nutcase. A field marshall commands over 200,000 troops. The Philippine Scouts, the country's standing army then, was only 10,000-strong.)
First off, the field of contest is only Region 6 which recently has shrunk to only Panay and Guimaras Islands, after Negros Occidental across the strait moved out to join Negros Oriental and form the Negros Island Region (NIR).
There used to be two “highly urbanized cities” in Region 6 – Iloilo and Bacolod. The latter has not been keen joining searches of this sort, anyway.
With the birth of NIR, Iloilo City is the solitary highly urbanized one in the region which comprises the provinces of Capiz, Iloilo, Antique, Aklan and Guimaras.
And the “evaluator” or source of the award?
The Philippine National Police Region 6 Office based at Camp Delgado, Iloilo City.
Iloilo City is the lone “competitor” and whoever sits there as mayor will always be “outstanding” as per evaluation by the PNP whose criteria for the “search of outstanding local chief executive” remain a top secret.
