Tatlong taon daw kayong Mayor pero ngayon lang nagkukumahog na magpatayo ng mga kalsada. Teka, teka, hindi ba saklaw iyan ng election ban?

Obvious daw na ibig ninyong humakot ng boto. Pero imbes na boto ang mahakot, ngitngit ng may 1,000 nagtitinda sa public market ang naani raw ninyo.

Ito ay dahil sa balak ni Vergara na magtayo ng P1.5 bilyong mall sa lugar na kinalalagyan ng palengke. Siyempre nga naman, insecure ang mga vendors na sila’y mapatatalsik sa puwesto nila.
