FOR BOHOL'S COMMON GOOD AUMENTADO-CHATTO SMOKE "PEACE PIPE"

The Bohol Standard
May 30, 2010 issued

Admitting that the last election was the "most hard fought and yes, even painful," Congressman -elect Erico B. Aumentado of Bohol's 2nd District initiated a move for a smooth transition of provincial administration from the former to the latter.

In his letter to Governor-elect Edgar Chatto dated May 17, he congratulated Chatto even as he commented that in the span of their respective long political careers, the last election was the most trying.

In his reply dated the following day, Chatto congratulated the governor in return on the latter's election as representative of Bohol's 2nd District.

He assured Aumentado that "as in the past electoral contest which I had the privilege of joining as a candidate for an elective post, I can assure you and the Boholano public that differences in political persuasions are easily set aside in favor of the common good and the achievement of the common vision for Bohol towards sustainable development."

To note, while both belong to the administration Lakas-Kampi-CMD party, they split and formed factions at the height of the campaign amid accusations and counter-accusations of party disloyalty although they still supported the same presidential candidate.

This notwithstanding, Aumentado said the statesman in both of them motivates them to set aside personal issues and start the preparation for the work at hand to sustain Bohol's progress and development.

He said he has organized his transition team to ensure the smooth transfer of authority from the Aumentado Administration to the Chatto Administration. The outgoing governor said his provincial administrator, lawyer Handel Lagunay, is convening the team to prepare the transition plan, with lawyer John Titus Vistal, the provincial planning and development coordinator, designated as focal person.

He requested Chatto to also form his own transition team to meet the Vistal-led group before his governorship ends and the incumbent 1st District congressman's begins.

"As you may have already known, there are mega projects and programs already being implemented, due for implementation, or already in the initiation phase which must be followed through so that they can be completed under your administration," he wrote.

Aumentado added that he is hopeful and optimistic that when these projects and programs are fully implemented, they will improve the quality of life of the Boholanos and further enhance the province's economic drivers- agriculture and tourism.

He also expressed gratitude "that Bohol is never short of talented and competent leaders to man the helm of the province."

Chatto said he has already similarly convened a transition team with Provincial Board (PB) member Alfonso Damalerio II as focal person to coordinate with Aumentado's Vistal- led group.

He added that he and the team will be most interested to know the priority programs and projects including their stages of implementation "for our appropriate guidance before we also embark on trailblazing development initiatives."

He assured the governor that the recent political exercise "will not in any way affect our common desire to give the best of ourselves to the best interest of our province and our people."

Chatto also expressed appreciation over Aumentado's full support to the Chatto-Lim Administration.

Lim is ex-officia PB member Concepcion Lim, provincial federation president of the Liga ng mga Barangay (LnB) and vice governor -elect.
