There is
really no need to accentuate the obvious: political dynasty–especially nowadays
where certain phenomena in Philippine politics and governance are hot and yes,
highly-sensitive, controversial topics. It’s even more so a taboo and a no-no,
if it comes from the very offspring herself of the top two officials at the city’s
event of the year such as a city fiesta. (Calling the mayor and vice mayor as
“mother and father” of the city)
Better to separate the professional from
the personal so as not to rub salt and insult to injury or worse, wake up
sleeping dogs. Besides, the citizens and constituents of Laoag City already
know; otherwise, they would not have had voted accordingly so. And yet, I agree
with Mr. Herdy La. Yumul: things do not have to be spelled-out. After all, we
would not really want to “rock the boat.” Keep the “family” business and
reference…at home–where it really belongs.
