Mr. Moonlight:

I am in favor of Federal System. Cebu is the most progressive province in the entire Philippines, although it is not getting big budget allocation from the national government, the development of economy, peace and order, tourism, quality of life are far better than in Metro Manila. Only idiots and those who have not visited Cebu will disagree.

Mr. Moonlight:

Obviously this motherfuuuucking Neal Cruz hates Cebuanos. He claimed Serge Osmena has ambition to run for president. Neal Cruz must be hallucinating, he must be taking shabu regularly.

Mr. Moonlight:

I don't usually read Neal Cruz column but I'm not giving him easy pass on this one. IT IS MISLEADING, IT IS DECEPTION! PDI should throw him out and dump him in the trash container.

Mr. Moonlight:

The truth of the matter is this. Serging Osmena's vision of Cebu was very much like Singapore. But as fate would have it, it was not meant to be. Osmena was huge victim of largest and unprecedented election cheating. And who was the biggest loser? Neal Cruz knew the cheating, he was already an adult when it happened. That was 1969!

Mr. Moonlight:

Hey motherfuuuucking Neal Cruz do not mislead the readers. Serging lost in his own province because of tremendous cheating. Clearly, Marcos outsmarted Osmena, the only province that Osmena won was Pampanga because of Ninoy Aquino. The cheating was hugely widespread, it covered from Batanes to Jolo. And why you had no objection on Marcelo Fernan Bridge, motherfuuuucker?!

This Neal Cruz writes well. But his article about a so-called "battle of Mactan" is a bridge too far for him to know. His phrase-making and wordsmithing don't make him a better person to know of the history of Cebu and the region, including Mindanao, which has a stake in what's going on in the commercial and spiritual center of the south. How can Cruz be better informed than the nine (9) Cebuano congressmen who are for renaming the Mactan bridge to Serging Osmena? Osmena Jr. has the misfortune of being outshone by the illustrious father, but rightly so. The father at 28 was the Speaker of the House of Representatives that ranked him only second to the American Governor General in 1907. But when it comes to their home province of Cebu, I would say, and I say it with first hand knowledge, that his record has been forgotten because of his long feud with Marcos and his warlords in the province. The former president's junior, Serging, and his grandson, Lito Osmena, have done more to make his

grand dreams for his province come true. His immediate concern during his time was political freedom of the Philippines. But not his son, Serging, and his grandson, Lito. Serging was the architect of the plan to move the Cebu airport from Lahug to Mactan island. And it was him who pursued the idea of building a bridge to connect the two islands. If not for Serging, there would have been no reclamation that expanded the reaches of the city in all directions. His grandson, Lito, on the other hand, is credited for the CeBOOM. If Neal Cruz has nothing better to write about he should not think of something else rather than fly and go far south and make a fool of himself.

By trying his luck to claim more insights to Cebu's complicated political history, Neal H. Cruz of PDI has only succeeded in trumpeting his ignorance on the widely despised old political ploy hurled at him by his political opponents to besmirch the highly regarded political leadership of Serging Osmena in Cebu. To remember the nostalgic headlines of old like, "Cebu goes wherever Serging is," only serves to impress and reminisce his political dominance, integrity and leadership in Cebu during his lifetime. To cite Marcos garnering majority of 40,000 votes over Serging in his Cebu home province alone in that 1969 election is only trying to resurrect the unsettled charges of widespread  election fraud, of the cheating and intimidation committed by Marcos against Serging in that shamefully discredited election which earned the name, "DAYAAN 1969"

instead of "HALALAN 1969." No amount of distorting facts from Neal Cruz about Serging's credibility to deserve a bridge to be named after him can ever overcome the steadfast belief, dedication and resoluteness affirmed through the recommendation of the nine Cebu congressmen to re-name the Mandaue-Mactan Bridge after him.

Serging lost in Cebu because of the massive cheating undertaken by the henchmen of Marcos.
