By Mortz C. Ortigoza

Will the Remullas become more powerful and will control some congressional district and other political posts in the vote rich Cavite in the 2028 electoral derby after the patriarch of the Revillas former Senator Bong has been sent to the hoosegow and will rot again there in a nonbailable thieving crime?


As of 2025, the Remulla and Revilla families hold key political positions in Cavite Province:

LANDING
Supreme Allied Commander for the Far East American Five-Star General Douglas MacArthur's landing in Lingayen Gulf on January 9, 1945, was the final phase of his famous promise to return to the Philippines. While his first landing was in Leyte months earlier, the Lingayen operation was the massive amphibious assault needed to retake the capital, Manila.

SAN CARLOS CITY, Pangasinan – Hinikayat ng alkalde dito ang mga higit kumulang 10, 000 na biktima ng Ponzi Scam na magsampa ng kaso para may habol sila sa taong nanloko sa kanila.

SCAM. Joshua Layacan (left) is jailed at Malasiqui Police Station for scamming 10,000 people of San Carlos City and other places. People in the city were up in arms against him and protesting that their more or less  P2 billion of investment in his Ponzi Scheme will be restituted to them.


“At least mag file na kayo ng kaso kaysa makipag areglo siya may habol pa kayo. Masakit man itong isipin na ganito nangyaring ito maraming naapektuhan marami pang nasirang buhay marami pa kasing naloko,” ani Mayor Julier “Ayoy” Resuello noong makapanayam siya ng mga media men sa tanggapan niya dito kamakailan.

Base sa batas ang lungsod ng Dagupan at San Carlos ay magiging first class city na sa taong 2027.

CHIEF EXECUTIVES. Dagupan City Mayor Belen T. Fernandez (left) and San Carlos City, Pangasinan Mayor Julier "Ayoy" C. Resuello.


Ayon sa Republic Act No. 11964 o Automatic Income Classification of Provinces, Cities, and Municipalities: “Cities shall be classified into five (5) classes, according to their income ranges and based on the average annual regular income for three (3) fiscal years preceding a general income reclassification. The classification shall be as follows: (1) First Class – Cities that have obtained an average annual regular income of One billion three hundred million pesos (P1,300,000,000.00) or more;”

Province Even with Less than 250-K Pop. Needs a Congressman

 By Mortz C. Ortigoza

While writing a blog on the cities of Dagupan and San Carlos going First Class in year 2027, I stumbled on this statute:



A fifth class province should have an earning of less than P500 million a year, according to Republic Act No. 11964 or Automatic Income Classification of Provinces, Cities, and Municipalities.
Many cities in the Philippines have their own income of almost P2 billion annually each but they don't have a Congressman to represent them while a province with less than P500 million income is mandated to have one member in the House of Representatives.

How Trump Deals with Venezuela Anti-U.S V.P?

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

It is still uncertain if Venezuela runs under a United States friendly government because the successor of President Nicolás Maduro (collared by the U.S Delta Force and flown to the United States earlier to face a set of narco cases) according to that oil rich country's law is Vice President Delcy Rodriguez. Rodriguez is pro Maduro and critical to the U.S.

The American military just snatched out Maduro and his wife and did not commit soldiers on the ground to wage war with the Venezuelans. President Donald Trump is lukewarm to commit the American military for a protracted war just like what happened in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
