A survey says it will be 9 to 3 in the Senate race. That is, nine opposition bets winning and only three from the Team Unity making it. I asked a friend to comment on this and he said:
"The survey involved only 1,200 respondents. Ang Pinas, Bay, dunay 87 million population... Unya tagaan tag importansya ang opinion sa gamayng pudyot?"

My good friend Sam Costanilla, consultant on media affairs at the Capitol, has taken exception to the proposal of another friend Lorenzo "Lorrie" de la Serna to split Cebu in two - lengthwise. (This column, March 7/07) Sam said: With all due respect to de la Serna, I say his idea is both weird and impractical. Dividing Cebu into two or three provinces would only halt the province's growth and development. The move would also confuse the people..."
Thanks, Sam, for reacting... But thanks most of all for reading me as I've been reading you. Now I know there is at least one guy in the Capitol who reads me!
