Comments:
1.   So, who best served as Vice Governor of Bohol?  Facts don’t lie.  Notice that most of the projects Herrera did in his term were copied from  Chatto’s time, such as:
a.   Distribution of Kits to BALA
b.   Distribution of Kits to the OFWs
c.   OFW Assistance Desk
d.   Training on Barangay Legislation copied from Chatto’s Katarungang Pambarangay Institutional Capacity Program
2.   Chatto had 21 accomplishments in only 6 years as Vice Governor, while Herrera has only 6 while serving for 9 years.
3.   So, who is a better leader for Bohol?
4.   You can not become a “good leader” by simply claiming that you are.  Your track record will speak for you and other people will say it to the public.  Chatto’s track record of accomplishments and Awards even as Vice Governor and now as Congressman will speak for himself that he is a “good leader” able to become the next Governor of Bohol which the people will elect on May 10.

I’ve been absent for awhile from this forums, needed to go to a far away land for a short vacation …anyway I’m back, and from the airlanes found out how v-gov herrera’s family had zipped out money from poor unsuspecting job seekers for abroad in a recruitment scam perpetrated by his son Marcus Julius Herrera (marcusjlh83@yahoo.com) thru a company known as 3 J’s Global Recruitment Agency Incorporated. The J’s are supposed to stand for “Juliuses”, a favorite name for the family.

The son had given the victims his address as: #56 Hernandez St., Pasay City, while their agency holds office at Rm 201, Lee Business Corner, on Juan Luna cor. Juan dela Cruz Sts., Davao City.

I don’t know and still am verifying reports that among the more than 200 hundred recruits nationwide there were at least 35 Boholanos. It is said that the agency is a family business, w/ the v-gov and his wife Linda, a labor attache based in the US, actively engaging in  the scam.

Some of the complainants even testified in their affidavits that the V-Gov’s OFW desk inside his office at the capitol was used to handle the concerns of these wannabe overseas workers. They had in fact implicated a female government employee in the v-gov’s office by the name of “Sharon”, who handled their papers.

Sketchy reports have said that herrera’s wife met with some of the complainants  at Garden Café for s ettlement that would silence them, they will reportedly meet again at the POEA in Cebu sometime this, or next week.

After these recruited workers had complained, they were told that  the failure to provide the promised jobs abroad was due to the global recession which had greatly affected the US. This was after they had paid ($450.00) four hundred and fifty dollars each excluding expenses for a medical check-up, fare & allowance while they stayed in Cebu.

When they complained with the POEA, they found out that the agency’s license had already expired and thus had been delisted from the POEA.

Some of the victims they say have been employed by Herrera as casual workers of the province, to silence them. Most are suffering in silence in the hope of recovering their placement fees. Some victims however, those who had borrowed from 5-6 sources or had pawned and sold lands  and other assets, want their money back and filed formal complaints.

Some of the victims who were identified in their compliants are Maricel Cajelo, Nestora Rebusa, Carlos Gardosi, Maria Liezel Ingles and Maria Susan Yap all applying as caregivers; garbage collector applicants Roberto Cister & Pableo Dabalos; and construction workers Joseph Palingcod and Carlito Hibaya.

Now, this is something we hope, some of those in this forum could verify… specially those in the Herrera camp for them to explain..
