I don't talk politics

I am aware that this blog turns up among the top searches for Google when you search for "Areng Poblete."

I have no information on him here.  This is my only post about him and the blog entry isn't even about him, it's about the old mansion on P. Montoya Street.

I appreciate people leaving comments but I do hope when you decide to call people names that you have the guts to stand behind your statements. Because when you leave nasty yet anonymous comments, your arguments will sound weak to me.

I do not blog about politics because it's completely alien to me. There are many things I will never understand about it. I only blogged about politics in April/May because I wanted (bordering on desperate) for people to vote Richard Dick Gordon for president.

I have heard stories about the current mayor but I do not publish them here because they are not my first-hand experience. They are rumors. These stories will continue to remain rumors until someone, anyone, who truly knows what's going on, tells people what he/ she knows. And that someone should be willing to stand behind his or her statements.  

That said, I do hope that every time there is an election, people really choose leaders who will do their best for the community and the country.  I intend to grow old here and stories of people breaking into people's homes and businesses scare the sh*t out of me. When I hear stories of politicians running their own saklay operations, I get a little worried about the town's future. When I see dirty streets, I get a little annoyed.

I want to live in a peaceful town where people work together to achieve common goals.


p.s.  I'm sorry if I didn't give the town justice in the article I did for the MY CITY, MY SM section. You can probably tell that story was really written for SM (it's a contest piece). I intend to write more good stories about the town, it's just that, life keeps getting in the way :)

p.p.s. When you see me around town, say hi :)
