In my humble opinion, the governor should focus on a masterplan for the province that would address all existing and potential problems and issues rather than look at things piecemeal. Take for example the planned transaxial road that is planned. I am not saying it is bad. It is in fact good. But it has got to be part of a masterplan that will address all the other issues related to it such as traffic and the need for efficient mass transport. And the list goes on. Projects that may be good by itself but are not part of any masterplan of any efforts to synergize the whole province. The various govt agencies such as the DPWH, DSWD, DILG, Dep Ed, etc, all have their budgets as well as their projects throughout the country, including Cebu. So naa jud mga projects nga ma implement. My expectation for Davide or whoever is governor, is for him to rally the people of Cebu around a vision, or a masterplan, that will unite us and make us dream again.
Davide may be a good person, but maybe he is too good that imperial Manila can easily push him around. I am actually scandalized that the P14 billion proceeds from our airport privitization is all going to the national coffers. Davide is co-chair of the MCIAA and he just allowed that without even a whimper? Come'on, he should have at least fought for part of it to be allocated for Cebu. The way he handled the LP slates here is also indicative of his having no backbone. He abandoned original, local partymates who supported him thru thick and thin. Yes, that is politics. But he did even try to show that he put up a fight for them and he was overruled from above. Hahay!
