AGUILAR, Pangasinan – The Mayor in this rustic landlocked town
boasted his accomplishment in his almost three years’ stints compared to the
nine years’ term of his predecessor who had done little to the people here.
“E compare ninyo iyan nine years nila sa three ko. Botante na ang magsasalita basta sabihin lang kung ano ang nagawa ko sa Aguilar naibibibay ko sa Aguilar kung ano ang nagawa ko sa Aguilar ng three years at saka nine years sa kanila,” a passionate Mayor Roldan “Boyet” Sagles told Northern Watch Newspaper.

The Mayor lamented that the mostly opposition and
Ballesteros’ friendly members of the legislature (Sangguniang Bayan) would not
give him a resolution to avail another P50 million grant from the national
government for the construction of the second regional evacuation center’s
edifice.
“Ayaw mo iyan. Ayaw nila
akong umangat. Ayaw nila akong makapag project na ganyan. May kilala ako sa
Pagcor”.
Sagles said if his wife Vil wins the May 9 mayoralty
election versus Councilor Kristal Ballesteros Soriano, their friend in the Philippine Amusement and Gaming
Corporation (PAGCOR) would continue to intercede for the multi-million pesos
intended to the people here.
In the almost three years stint of Sagles, a dentist, he
either procured or created the following: New dump truck, new firetruck, new
ambulance, new municipal warehouse, solar street lights, P30
million evacuation center in Barangay Buer, newly designed plaza, more farm to
market roads, Corona Virus Disease-19 building, or distribution late this year
of 16 Mitsubishi utility vans to each of the sixteen barangays.
Before his term ends at noon of June 30 this year, Sagles
cited the following projects in the pipeline he prepares to implement in the
first half of this year: Solar lights in the stretches of the national highway
that cover various villages here, the P5 million oval at Mapita Economic Park,
another police car, and another fire truck to be funded by the coffer of the
local government unit.
He looks on the renovation if not construction of a new
public market after Save More, a supermarket owned by SM Retail, signified to
him to put shop here.
He deplored the actuation of some real property owners here
on spiking excessively their lot intended to be a location of the American
franchise’s McDonald fast food company.
“May McDo ako dito ang
lupa na lang ang wala. P8, 000 per square meter (psm). Saan ka kukuha ng P8,000
psm alangan naman kukunin ng McDo iyan. Mahal iyan”.
He said McDonald will backtrack if the seller inflated the
price of the land.
“Ayaw ni McDo mahal
parang city na. Bibilhin mo ng P3,000 psm bebenta mo ng P5,000 tubo ka na ng
kaunti”
