JC Delos Reyes - Clean And Green

Comment from a reader on "Vic's Run For Mayor"

'A governor salary goes a long way' one of the very best blogs in your archives, sharp, quite profound for this neck of the woods where most of us are not as interested in such things as graft among public servants, being retired, etc.

Being rich for whatever reasons, graft, bootleggers, arab/texas oil filters, inheritances, have produced some outstanding leaders, fairly honest, roosevelt's, not bad, kennedy's, so-so good, bushes, not real good but not real bad, sort of like 'ol-vic' however, jc delos reyes has not had a fair shot at graft as yet, he must wait in line. Give him a chance.

[The Subic Bulletin] Having met dozens of politicians in the Philippines we would suggest that any future for the Philippines rests with people like local Presidential candidate, JC Delos Reyes.

Although technically JC is related to the Gordons he is of a different breed altogether, he is already a councilor in Olongapo City and has has ample time and connections to make himself a little on the side, but instead he struggles to make a living running a brick factory and a water shop. The brick factory is missing two walls and the roof is just tarpaulins strung up to give some protection from the sun and rain. In the same lot as the brick factory is am old house with about 20 orphans that he supports on his own earnings.

He drives a pickup truck and has no bodyguards or aides running around. While JC is well educated his belief that the people will vote a "clean" candidate into power and that the traditional politicians will let it happen is just a dream.

This is not an endorsement for JC Delos Reyes (The Subic Bulletin tries to be impartial) but we just wanted to share some observations of this man. While we observe some politicians with inexplicable wealth its worth mentioning politicians without the inexplicable wealth that actually seem to be trying to make a difference. Lets hope the Political word doesn't turn JC over to the "dark side!"
