Herrera disputes report about "political prize"

This
was the reaction given by Vice Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera to the banner story
in last week's issue of the Bohol Chronicle. Herrera issued the statement "to
set the record straight" and to dispel insinuations about such an arrangement.
Speaking
during the Governor's Report last Friday, he said the report is "unfair"

he was convinced that Aumentado was capable of doing the job.

added that anybody can be qualified to run for governor but not everybody can
do the job of the governor.
Even
if there were criticisms against him, Herrera said he joined the unification because
he was convinced of the administration's programs and was thinking of public interest
over his own political career. (RVO) |
