Espino camp hits my column’s Celeste vs. Espino

By MORTZ C. ORTIGOZA

Power-that-be in the pilgrim town Manaoag, Pangasinan told me that Vice Mayor Lito Arenas has moist eye for the mayoralty of the town in the 2016 polls.

He said Arenas’ vice mayoralty tandem would be Former Mayor Nap Sales.

“Big time private contractor si Lito. Si Nap cash strapped na and could not regain his old post as it would cost him an arm and leg to run for the mayorship”.

My source told me Mayor Kim Amador is a formidable force to reckon with.

“His sister, an Undersecretary at the Department of Budget & Management, has been generous in giving projects in Manaoag”.

He told me that Amador’s vice mayoralty tandem will be my friend Councilor Doods Rosario- former ally of mayoralty wannabe, my amiable pal too, Dr. Ming Rosario – a former board member.

Former Mangaldan Mayor Berex Abalos told me he will run for a seat at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial board).

“Maganda iyan, bakit kayong mga taga Mangaldan pinakamalaking bayan sa 4th (Congressional) District outside Dagupan City) wala kayong representation sa Sangguniang Panlalawigan? “ I posed.

He said he would be supported by his business patron Former Congressman Mark Cojuangco, a gubernatorial hopefull.

“Maganda iyan pag BM (board member) na si Berex, siguradong makakakuha na kami ng kontrata thru you from Governor Cojuangco,” a contractor teased

Balikbayans, foreigners hail Island Tours

DAGUPAN'S FUTURE TOURIST ATTRACTION

 DAGUPAN CITY – “It’s my first time and I like the view out here," said Charles Roseberry of Missouri, USA.

 Roseberry  was among many foreigners who rode on the city's Island Tours where they made a close look at the beauty of the Dagupan's river after a one to two-hour leisurely ride.

 " The river is clean and its rich food is really delicious. I will definitely try it again with my family,” Roseberry quipped.

 Roseberry was with some balikbayans from  Los Angeles, San Francisco, California, Boston, Massachusetts, Daly City, and Baltimore, USA  who experienced the  Island Tours last April 23.

 Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, City Engineer Virginia Rosario and some education program supervisors accompanied the tourists as they traversed the island barangays of the city on board  the China and USA-themed Island Tour boats.

The tour made a stopover in a shallow sand bar in Pugaro where the group had a chance to feast on freshly-cooked local delicacies such as buttered crab, grilled tilapia, shrimp, pinakbet, fruits and lechon.

During the tour, a group of fisherman approached the tourists and showed them their bountiful catch which they eventually sold to the visitors.

 The group suggested to Mayor Belen that the city’s river can also be a good kayaking destination because it is clean and has a beautiful turquoise blue color.

Victor Manela and his daughter Caroline from Boston, Massachusetts,  referred to the island Tours as ‘more pleasant than the previous river cruise’ as they already tried the former Dawel river cruise in 2011.

Mayweather will dominate Pacquiao: ANALYSIS

                            

By MORTZ C. ORTIGOZA

Many boxing aficionados predicted that Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao’s haymakers would dominate Welterweight pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on May 2 (U.S dateline) mega tussle of the century.

Since a boxer is as good as his last six fights, let’s dissect if Pacquiao whirling dervish southpaw stance has still the superiority or pop to deck out Mayweather.

Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

When Pacquiao fought the “Walking Punching Bag” Brandon Rios and the “Run Away Bride”, er, Boxer Cris Algieri compobox bared Pacquiao unleashes a total punch rates of 790 for Rios and 669 for Algieri in the entire 12 Rounds.

In these two lopsided match ups, Pacquiao looks superb as based on his total punches  just like during those exploding years where he TKO’d (technical knocked out) and KO’d (knocked out) the bigger but dehydrated or struggling in weight Oscar dela Hoya, Antonio Margarito, and Miguel Cotto.

When Manny however fought Juan Manuel Marquez in 2011 and 2012, he unleashes only a total punch of 578

and 256 (before he was knocked out cold at the 6th Round) or an average punches of 48 and 42 per round on their 2011 and 2013  tussles, respectively.

Why the bone lazy punches from the Filipino to the Mexican compared to his bunches of punches on Rios and Algieri?

My Answer: Because aside from their being a ploughing punching bag and Runaway Bride, er, Pug, Marquez superb counter punching skills deterred Pacquiao to whimsically shoot his punches.

He became tentative if not cautious because he became vulnerable to the 1-2 or 1-2-3 of the Mexican every time he dropped a jab or a straight.

The Mexican fought intelligently by exploiting the weaknesses of the predictable style of the Filipino

 (Pacquiao’s right jabs then plunge his chin or set his legs for inertia to trigger his left power punch) by just turning clockwise to avoid the Filipino’s left power punch.

The last time I saw Pacquiao set his predictable left power punch by feinting first two supposed right jabs were in the 6^th round of their 2013 match. Marquez made him pay for that blunder as Pacquiao allowed an opening of his chin as a knocked out target of the Mexican looping right punch.

Thanks to his chopping of woods or thanks to controversial conditioning coach Angel "Momo"Heredia?

Pssst, I heard Mayweather, for the first time, chops woods too!

Kissinger Endorses JDV’s China Sea’s Conflict Formula

Northern Watch newspaper correspondent Mortz C. Ortigoza sat with former five- time House Speaker Jose de Venecia, a renowned geo-politics connoisseur, to discuss the disturbing Mainland China's reclamation at many of the eight reefs and islets in the Spratly Archipelago, the United States military pivot from Europe to Asia, the probability of the Philippines hosting again the U.S military bases to deter the Chinese. Excerpts:

JOSE DE VENECIA (JDV): You know my (North Sea) formula which (Former U.S State Secretary Henry) Kissinger endorsed recently. We should shelve or post phone....

 (Q & A: JDV's solutions on the Spratlys problem )

NW: For the next generation....

JDV: For the next generation and have a joined exploration and joint development of the South China Sea.

NW: But the problem is China is the one that is aggressively intruding on those eight islets and reefs at the Spratly's Archipelago?

JDV: No! But somebody had proposed that! I proposed that! (China’s Former Paramount Leader) Deng Xiaoping  proposed that! I proposed that, Kissinger endorsed it (recently).

NW: How can we stop the sabre rattling and incursions of the Chinese?

JDV: That’s why this formula will stop all the encroachments.

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

BAYAMBANG -  The beleaguered mayor here who has string of cases at the Ombudsman has been sued anew by a business tycoon and this town’s vice mayor and councillors at the same anti graft body.

In an affidavit complaint received last April 20 by the Ombudsman in Luzon at Rosales, Pangasinan, Cezar Quimbao, owner of Stradcom Corporation, sued at the government anti-graft and corruption body this town Mayor Ricardo Camacho.

 

MAYOR SUED BY VEEM, DADS. Bayambang, Pangasinan Councillor Levin Uy (3^rd from left) shows to media men at a function room of the Star Plaza Hotel in Dagupan City incriminating documents against Bayambang Mayor Ricardo Camacho.

Uy , Vice Mayor Mylvin T. Junio (extreme right) and Councillors Allan de Vera, Gerardo Flores (extreme left and 2^nd to the left, respectively) Raul R. Sabangan, and Joseph Vincent E. Ramos (not in photo) sued Camacho with corruption and anti ethics law after he paid unilaterally Php 380,000 of the municipal fund to  Pedro Mabulay the vendor of the second hand Toyota utility vehicle Granvia.  MORTZ C. ORTIGOZA

1^st Criminal and Administrative Charges

The four charges Quimbao filed at the mayor were Section 3 (e) of Republic Act No. 3019 or otherwise known as “Anti-Graft and Corruption Practices Act”, Section 7 (A) of Republic Act No. 6713 or otherwise known as “Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees”, “Fraud Against the Public Treasury and Similar Offense under Article 213 of the Revised Penal Code, and Falsification by Public Officer under Article 171 of the Revised Penal Code.

The businessman anchored his charges on the Annual Gender Development Report submitted by the mayor at the Commission on Audit.

On the second page and at the 10^th entry of the Report, Camacho claimed he paid 3000 pieces of grills and 2000 kilos of tilapia with the used of P1,896,000 local government funds.

“Being born and raised in Bayambang, Pangasinan, his hometown, which he deeply cares, complainant had thought that such a (bid to Guinness) world record would bring honour and prestige to his hometown, and would also boost the eco-tourism program of the town, and so, he agreed, in his own private capacity, to supply and provide for the 8,150.00 pieces of grills needed to break the record (one grilling station for every one meter); while the respondent (mayor) will sponsor a resolution before the Municipal Council of Bayambang to form their own committee to support the idea of the project and to solicit for the required number of fish to grill and among others. Complainant forthwith informed Manuel  R. Valdez, owner of Far East Industrial Supply & Co., Inc., to manufacture 8,150 pieces of barbeque grills with stand at the price of Php 580.00  each, or a total of Five Million Two Hundred Ninety Four Thousand and Two Hundred Forty Pesos (Php. 5,294, 240.00). A copy of the Job Order, Voucher, and Receipts are hereto, attached and respectively marked as Annexes “A” to “A-3” hereof,” Quimbao’s affidavit said.

He said it has been the tradition of this town to put up lines of grilling station booths during the town fiesta, which is every first week of April.

On April 5, 2013, Quimbao continued, in celebration of the 399^th town anniversary he thought of an idea to have the  400^th year of the town to break the Guiness World Record for the Longest Grilling Station of 6.2 kilometer set by Turkey.

“Thus a Committee was formed to which Dr. Hery Fernandez as the chairman, the complainant as co-chairman, and the respondent as member together with other private individuals. The committee agreed that in the next fiesta of the Municipality of Bayambang will be dubbed as “Kalutan Ed Dalan”,” Quimbao stressed.

Meanwhile, the DepEd regional director expressed belief that better results will be gained from the camaraderie that was strengthened among the participating athletes.

In related development, Pangasinense athletes and trainer-coaches from DepEd schools divisions in the province had started their version of in-house training as early as April 6 with athletes from other provinces in the region.

As of record, team Pangasinan remained as a consistent top performer placing as over-all 2^nd runner-up in Batang Pinoy Luzon Leg for the years 2013 and 2014 in a field of more than a hundred participating Local Government Unit (LGU) delegations.
