WHY not just continue the road project in Boom Boom’s
village?
As governor, it does not make sense to continue or push
through with the project only if Boom Boom won the fight or became a world champion. The problem with the governor of Bohol is he only wanted to share a ride on the front page.
Kung talagang dapat ayusin ang kalsada, bakit hindi gawin. Bakit idadaan pa sa laban ni Boom Boom?
Poor Boom Boom, he absorbed all the pain. Siya ngayon ang sisisihin ng mga kabarangay niya dahil hindi magawa-gawa ang kalsada sa lugar nila. Hopefully Boom Boom will become a world champion before the governor of Bohol needs him for the next election.

It would do best for the Guv to admit publicly that he committed such an unnecessary blunder by opening his mouth
on matters that need not have been expressed after all. Such insensitivity was uncalled for and inappropriate at a time when he should have offered instead a fatherly pat to a still bewildered son. Boom Boom might have been careless in defending himself and those were crucial and very costly split-seconds mistakes but Aumentado’s pronouncement which should have been weighed down overnight with tact and intelligence befitting a provincial leader was just downright stupid and a 1st round KO to his person and office. Boom Boom’s star would definitely rise sometime soon but what about you?

in fairness kay boom-boom, well after all the pain he’d gone, the governonr should not act those retard thinking. Not pushing through the road project because of the loss of boom-boom, i mean this is such a good example of how Philippine politics so irresponsible. Putting public service in the hands of others. How funny…

Ayan ang halimbawa nang isang marangal na Gobernador. Sana pagpalain ka pa. I wonder how he won that Election, or maybe when he was campaigning he asphalted a bunch of streets.

Bohol Gov. Erico Aumentado should be utterly, utterly ashamed of himself.
First and foremost, the governor should remember that he was elected to serve the people of Bohol. Thus, projects should not accomplished or discontinued simply because of the whims of the governor. It is the governor’s duty to help make his people’s lives better. It’s part of his job description. In fact, he is getting paid to do so. The funds that are to be used for these projects also come from the same people that he is supposed to serve. Also, the pre-work for the project is already done. If the road to Can-uling needs to be paved, then the governor needs to pave it, whether or not Boom-boom won.
And so the question now is why? Why deprive a baranggay a cemented road which is something that the residents have a right to have and that will make their lives better? To paraphrase Shakespeare, there seems to be something rotten in the province of Bohol. Well, at least in the Bohol governor’s office.
Gov. Aumentado, it would do you best to remember that you were elected to be a servant of the people. You were elected to serve, not to play king. Shame on you for laying on a young man’s shoulders the responsibility of not having his baranggay’s road cemented simply because he did not win the boxing match. It’s your responsibility to cement the road, not Boom-boom’s. Now it’s time to do what is right. It’s time for you to do your job and cement that road.
