Los Baños Update Monthly Newspaper

Wow! Los Baños now have this:

The monthly community newspaper. Pic taken from my camera phone.


According to those who gave this to me, after the elections ( I am assuming it's the recent elections) this started circulating around, and it's for free. Nice one right? If anyone from Los Baños is reading this, I suggest you get a copy and see things for yourself.

I heard someone reading this say:
"Pictures and updates from our Mayor is all over in this paper, but he's not regularly seen in the Municipal's office where he should be..."

Then during a discussion weeks ago in one subject in my grad school class:
"The reason Los Baños is not as good as before ( When Mayor, now Laguna Vice-Governor, Caesar Perez) is because we no longer have a 'Mayor'. A lot of people have been saying that he's not really in Los Baños."

Two different persons. One (almost) same thought.

I know it sounds so hypocrite of me, since I've only been really living back in Los Baños again for a year, but I do miss our old Mayor, Caesar Perez. Not because he is our family friend, but because he is the only politician I've seen (with my own eyes during the random weekends that I come home for the past years) that is very hands on and acts as the actual traffic enforcer and is not usually chauffeured around. Before, people are even afraid to "jaywalk" and spit on the street, but now, people just do their own thing as long as they don't get caught. 

One of the many reasons why many people and (migrants) have grown to love Los Baños community is, not only due to it's laid back lifestyle, because it feels a lot safer than the chaotic city. 

We need someone like Vice Governor Caesar Perez back in our Los Baños community. He's not the best Brgy.Captain (Los Baños has ever had) for nothing. Especially now since the issue on peace and order is becoming alarming.

Vwynx - thanks! I was not aware that it's been going on for a while, considering I've been here close to a year.

Anonymous - I hope you will be able to get a copy since it is being circulated around (for free). I got one and showed it to my elbi-based friends and they were surprised to see the "projects" and "reports" that doesn't seem to ring a bell nor hit a single form of familiarity. :)
