"IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, IN THE NAME OF THE MOTHER"

A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW, WE WILL BE ELECTING NEW SET OF POLITICIANS TO RUN THE AFFAIRS OF OUR NATION. DID YOU KNOW THAT IN QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES, MOST OF OUR ELECTED CITY OFFICIALS ARE SO-CALLED SECOND GENERATION POLITICIANS THEY ARE BEING ELECTED IN THE NAME OF THEIR RESPECTIVE FATHERS.

LET US START FROM TOP: MAYOR, HERBERT BAUSTISTA WHOM I  REMEMBEREAS ONE OF THE BAGETS DURING HIS TIME, ENTENG IN CAPTAIN BARBAL AND BISTEK IN HIS SITCOM, A MONICKER HE USED IN ALL HIS POLITICAL CAREER.

SELDOM KNOWN THAT HE IS THE SON OF FORMER KAGAWAD AND LATER HIS FATHER BECAME A BARANGAY CAPTAIN. 

VICE MAYOR JOSEFINA "JOY" BELMONTE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF PROLIFIC AND CONSIDERED THE BEST MAYOR QUEZON CITY EVER HAD.

AMONG THE COUNCILORS:

1.      JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA (DAUGTHER OF FORMER COUN. RAMON "TOTO" MEDALLA)

2.      CANDY MEDINA (DAUGHTER OF FORMER COUN. ERIC Z. MEDINA)

3.      DOROTHY "DORAY" DELARMENTE (DAUGHTER OF COUN. BETH DELARMENTE)

4.      ANTHONY "ONYX" CRISOLOGO (SON OF FORMER COUN. AND NOW CONG. BINGBONG CRISOLOGO)

5.     JULIAN COSETENG (SON OF FORMER SEN. NIKI COSETENG)

6.     GIAN SOTTO (SON OF FORMER VICE MAYOR AND NOW SENATOR TITO SOTTO)

7.     RAQUEL MALANGEN (DAUGTHER OF FORMER COUN. RESTY MALANGEN)

DOES THE CITY MAKES ANY BETTER COMPARED TO THE TIME WHEN THEIR RESPECTIVE FATHERS AND MOTHERS RUN THE AFFAIRS OF OUR BELOVED  CITY? I BELIEVED SO!

DO THIS SECOND GENERATION LOCAL LEGISLATORS DESERVED ANOTHER TERM COME MAY 2013?

DO YOU KNOW PERSONALLY THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS? AND THE ESSENTIAL LEGISLATIONS THEY MADE FOR THE CITY?

I PERSONALLY BELIEVED THAT THERE IS NO WRONG ELECTING THESE SO-CALLED SECOND GENERATION POLITICIANS BASED ON THEIR PERSONAL QUALIFICATION AND PERFORMANCE MADE AND NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF FORMER POLITICIANS.

THEY SHOULD MADE NAMES FOR THEMSELVES AND EARNED THE RESPECT OF EVERY VOTERS.
