BULL's HIT

No money for GSIS loans?

More are complaining against the Government Service Insurance System for alleged lack of funds for loans and claims to their members. A female staff of the Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources in Baguio office approached this writer to air her grievances and let others be informed of the seemingly mysterious disappearance of the funds that should have been intended for the GSIS contributing members.

She claims that their office continues to deduct the mandatory contributions from them but gets nothing in return. Attention GSIS, Baguio City office: Kindly attend to these complaints of your members to prove that there is nothing irregular going on at your office. Wala naman sigurong pressure or diktahan na nangyayari mula sa itaas, tama ba o hindi”? Prove that you are not robots, ladies and gentlemen.

All was well and ends well for the “Mr. Baguio” Nick Domalsin Cup, Bodybuilding held last Sept. 7 at the Baguio Convention Center. Except for the open weight, all divisions were fairly judged by the board of judges. I received negative remarks mostly from my colleagues who are professional bodybuilders saying the selection for the winner in the open weight division was a lutong macaw which I also agree when I compared the 3rd, 2nd, and the 1st winners.

The 2nd or the 1st runner up were much more muscular and defined compared to the 1st winner, even the 2nd runner up was much better that the 1st and I wonder how the board of judges came up with such a lousy decision. Being an experienced bodybuilder, it is a disgust to see the deserving as the least and the undeserving first. That should not happen to a prestigious event such as the Mr. Baguio Bodybuilding Competition.

With respect to my friend Mr. Nick Domalsin Jr. who is the over-all organizer of this recent event, he should be advised to get credible and efficient members for the board of judges, tabulators and even assistants to have more credible future competitions. It is a must that he should save and not to taint the reputation of bodybuilding sport in the city of Baguio. Flex it again Nick, you can do it!

Some kibitzers at the Baguio City Public Market are asking if the recent series of clearing operations done by the demolition team of the Baguio City Public Order and Safety Division Office on the ambulant and illegal vendors would finally end the cat and mouse play between the POSD and the vendors.

Well, if the chairperson on market committee, councilor Elaine Sembrano would stand firm on her order to clear the city market, then there could be no reason for not ending this problem unless the good councilor would only mean business this time but not afterwards. No sir, kilala ko ang pagkatao ni apo konsehala. If she means it, she’ll do it. No politics, period!
