The name of former congresswoman Venice Borja Agana was prominently mentioned last Tuesday when the PITE had its council coordinating meeting at the Bohol Beach Club.

There, Undersecretary Evelyn Pantig minced no words about Agana's indifference towards the overall Panglao tourism blueprint when she was at the helm as first district representative.

In short, Agana stood in the way of Panglao tourism development because she has other priorities than seeing the day of Panglao as a major player in the tourism business.

Whatever, with Agana out of politics, what she did during her time has become water under the bridge?

Far from it, if this BGLante is given his way, for purposes of informing her former constituents, although Agana is already out of the picture, she should be made to account for her own indiscretions. What if she decides to run again? It's about time that this early, the first district voters should be warned that there was this congresswoman who stood in the way of progress. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Just what did Agana do during her three-term stint in Congress in terms of accomplishments? Well, during the last elections, she rattled off a litany of accomplishments to her credit. But one thing sure, one accomplishment Agana had left an indelible imprint in the hearts and minds of first district voters are the ubiquitous waiting sheds. Anak ng waiting!
