The Liberal Party has intensifed its preparations for the forthcoming May 2007 elections with more chapter organizing, political mapping, campaign management training and information/education programs.
LP national director general Chit Asis reported these during a visit to Davao yesterday to confer with local LP leaders.
The LP campaign management training kicked off in Isabela last month. It was given by the LP national headquarters and the liberal think-tank, National Institute for Policy Studies (NIPS).
Similar trainings on planning, preparing, and running an electoral campaign, particularly how to get the votes, deliver the votes, and protect the votes will be conducted throughout the country.
She said next week, among the speakers at the Mindanao Island Congress of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) in Davao are LP chairman Senator Francis Pangilinan and LP executive vice president Senator Mar Roxas.

The pilot survey for the registry of micro enterprises under our FOSS project will now commence next week.
The three pilots barangays are Bucana 76-A, Ma-a, and 34-D.
Later this month, the team from IPD will be here to install the software program and test the registry system.
The registry of the micro enterprises in the barangays would be the basis for organizing them into a Barangay Business Club (BBC). Hopefully, within the next two months we shall be able to complete this pilot testing for both the registration and BBC organizing so it can be replicated in the other barangays.

Posted as comment at my new blog on the 2007 election.
“I am lost in cyberspace, but lost not in vain after all. I found your blog site and i immediately positioned myself for further investigation. I can only hope that all these community projects you have been talking about will come into fruition.
Although I have been away for over a quarter of a century (I recently visited the beautiful city of Davao last July 2006, I must admit I am at awe as far as progress and improvement this city achieved. I must say, kudos to all of you.
As a Dabawenyo at heart, there is something I wish to speak out. Inspite of the progress and improvement I have witnessed thereof, there are still a lot of improvements to make concerning the welfare of our young children. I am shocked to see young children sleeping on the streets.
They are everywhere.
Is there something we could do to take care of these children. Why are they on the street living miserably neglected? Is there something our local governance can do to help and alleviate this poverty? These children should be at a school environment to learn and acquire education.
Thank you,”

They will put to jail violators of a new child labor law in India beginning on October 10.
The new child labor law extends an existing ban against employing children in hazardous industries. It will bar employing children as domestic servants, at roadside food stalls and in hospitals.

There are 29 elected officials in Davao City. Three representatives to Congress, the city mayor, vice mayor and eight councilors for each of the three districts.
Of the 29, only five have expiring terms next year. Congressman Ruy Elias Lopez of the 3rd district, vice mayor Luis Bonguyan, and councilors Emmanuel Galicia (1st district), Jimmy Dureza and Gerald Bangoy (2nd district).
Their vacant positions are up for grabs in the May 14, 2007 polls.
The hotly contested one would be the post of vice mayor. As many as 10 names have been mentioned as probables. The next vice mayor would have a good chance to replace Mayor Rodrigo Duterte when he bows out of office for his sixth term in 2010.
The probables include:
Third term congressman Ruy Elias Lopez;
Third term councilors Jimmy Dureza and Emmanuel Galicia; councilors Mabel Acosta, Leo Avila III, Diosdado Mahipus;
Former city and vice mayor Ben de Guzman;
City administrator Wendel Avisado; 1st congressional district chief of staff Karlo Nograles; and retiring police officer Sid Lapena.
Take your pick.
