Editorial of the Bohol Chronicle, Oct. 14, 2007

Our editorial postulated four concerns under the acronym WHAP (water, health, agriculture and power) - doubtless a result of exchange of ideas among stakeholders in the province. The Governor is listening - and will take up some of these matters in this Friday's PPDC Meeting. At the very least the "beneficial bridge" linking Cebu and Bohol - and perhaps solving power and water concerns got the earful of both GMA and the Japanese ambassador while both were here last week.

In voicing our concerns - on objective targets to be met in the last wave of Rico's Term - we simply relayed what we have been doing the last 53 years in community journalism. We simply want "continuity" in the positive projects that will be left unfinished as 2010 curtain call time comes. It is also to enjoin Rico's successor to mirror the Governor's own statesmanship - like his shedding off of political trivialism - by pursuing the good projects started but not completed by his political archrival former Governor Rene Relampagos.

We certainly hope that the Governor's last term must most of all be soul-inspiring and productive. It is our fervent hope that with the close alliance of the Province and the Powers-That-Be, the province will not become an easy vehicle for highly lopsided, questionable projects that will later on be unmasked as graft-ridden.

We are one with Boholanos in hoping that we will no more see the likes mega projects as doubtful as the "most expensive irrigation dam" like the BHIP-2 which the President GMA inaugurated last Friday.

Governor Rico and his political allies must make sure, the "books are clean" when they exit in 2010. That is the only way to ensure that the legacy of clean governance - with concrete result - will be the trademark of the Governor the day he steps out of the Capitol.

This smacks of a grand conspiracy to hide the non-existent, to identify the nameless, to paint a picture of the unseen. -- Benelynne
