Gov-elect Pam Baricuatro's challenges

It is now clear that outgoing Governor Gwen Garcia is bent on making life difficult for Governor-elect Pam Baricuatro.

Gwen is ready to throw every possible obstacle into Pam's path. It would be foolhardy for the incoming governor to think that appealing to her predecessor's better nature would work.

After losing in the recent election, Gwen has not slowed down. She has grown fiercer each day. Bitter and angry, she shows no sign of exiting gracefully.

Look at the facts. At the eleventh hour, she still pushed for the P1.2 billion supplemental budget. It was only due to public outrage that the usually canine-obedient Provincial Board was stopped from approving it. Credit goes to Board Member Jimbo Borgonia for leaking information about the special session called for that purpose. His disclosure prompted Cebuanos to remain alert and vigilant.
