“What we should do now is to mobilize powerful coalition in
Pangasinan that will focus on the battle against poverty and against corruption
and climate change and to create tens of thousands of new jobs,” he stressed
here.
De Venecia, known with his moniker’s JDV and who was a colleague
of Cojuangco when they were members of the House of Representatives, said
gubernatorial wannabes like Cojuangco, whose real name is Marcos Juan Bruno, should focus on these
battles and employment generation of the people in Pangasinan.
The former Speaker said what Pangasinan needs for a governor is a person who has a brilliance of a Ramon Ang, the chairman of San Miguel
Corportation, to build large power plants in Sual and other areas of the
province for the national Luzon grid, and build infrastructure and new
expressway from Pampanga, Tarlac, and Pangasinan.
Ang was the former protégé of business tycoon Eduardo
“Danding” Cojuangco”, Mark’s father, when the older Cojuangco catapulted the food, power, and beverage San Miguel Corporation, he once chaired, as the top multi-billion
of pesos business corporation in the country and in South East Asia.
De Venecia explained that those behemoth economic infrastructures
could only be possible with an alliance of political parties and the forging of
Private-Public-Partnership or the former Build Operate and Transfer he authored
in congress.

“That should be the focus of whoever would run for the
governorship and I think Mark Cojuangco is well qualified (for that)”.
