MetroNEWS SCOOP:

PARANG PUTOK LANG SA BUHO SI MARK ALLAN V. AREVALO. Yun lumutang sa Senate Blue Ribbon Committee na mayari ng WAWAO BUILDERS na BILYON BILYON ghost projects ang na-corner sa Bulacan. Saan lupalop ba galing si AREVALO bago naging contractor at mayari ng Wawao Builders?

Baka naman totoo ang kumakalat na balita na si DE HENRY ALCANTARA din ang true owner ng Wawao kaya pati isang small-time contractor na si incumbent Board Member Michael 'Ninong' Aquino ng Bulacan-1st District ay tumiba ng higit ₱271-MILLION kontrata sa DPWH mula 2022-2025. Balita rin na sangkatutak din ang kontrata sa Provincial Government of Bulacan.

HABANG nakafocus ang buong binahang Pilipino sa sindikato ng Flood Control projects sa Bulacan DPWH, atbp., pansinin rin daw yun kayamanan ng matagal ng sindikato sa Bureau of Customs ng 'ENCISO Brothers'. Kulang sa pansin yun anak ni Verne at pamangkin ni Alvin. Ayaw patalbog Kay Claudine Co, pamangkin ni BILYONARYO-Cong. Zaldy Co. Paging BoC Commissioner Ariel Nepumuceno. Baka binubukulan ka na dyan? SIR, baka magaya ka kay GOB na "WALANG ALAM" kaya laging nabubukulan. Resulta: Puro BUKOL na ang mukha. Hindi nya kasi alam na binubukulan sya nung sindikatong 'Big FOUR' sa DPWH nina TABA, ADE, Engr. JP at Engr. Pol, kakuchaba yun 3Ps (Pancho, Pleyto at PAPA) pati yun malupit na BOKAL-contractor alias 'NINONG' alias 'BOY KUNAT' na pa-simple simple pero nakakopong ng ₱271-M kontrata sa Bulacan DPWH simula nung maupo si 'TABA' na DE nung 2019.

WHERE IS BULACAN HEADED?

Recent developments in the Bulacan Provincial Jail cast a dark shadow over the leadership of Governor Daniel Fernando.

Despite his public image as a pious and prayerful official — evident in most of his photos and even the branding of the DF Partylist with his sibling —events on the ground suggest a different reality.

The arrest of high-profile detainee "Mayor" Abdua Arajalon, a former SWAT commando with a murder case, while outside the jail with an es**rt, exposes deep-rooted corruption.

That this happened under the watch of a governor who controls over ₱200 million in Confidential and Intelligence Funds (CIF) raises serious questions.

The idea that a detainee could freely exit the jail compound multiple times a week, accompanied by a government-issued es**rt and even a private vehicle parked near the capitol is not just alarming — it’s outrageous.

This is not a one-off incident, but appears to be part of a larger pattern of lawlessness and possible political maneuvering. The quiet response from the Capitol only adds fuel to suspicions of a potential cover-up.

For a jail located barely a hundred steps from the governor's office, such activity going unnoticed is implausible at best and negligent or complicit at worst.

Calls for a Congressional Hearing are urgent and justified. Elected officials, including Reps. Silverio, Villarica, Cruz, Pleyto, Domingo and Pancho, must step in to demand accountability and uncover who truly controls the province’s penal system.

The possibility that these detainees are being used as tools for political violence, especially during an election season — just like the chilling ambush of Board Member Ramil Capistrano — mirrors the chaotic and bloody days of Nueva Ecija in the '80s and '90s.

History must not be allowed to repeat itself under a modern, democratic government.

Fernando’s silence is deafening. With such enormous intelligence funds at his disposal, the people of Bulacan deserve an explanation — not just a public relations photo of prayer.

Accountability begins at the top, and the safety and integrity of the province cannot depend on silence or spiritual posturing. It is time for real leadership, transparency and decisive action.

EDITORIAL:

Bulacan @447: A grim celebration
of M.H. Del Pilar's 175th Birthday

As Bulacan marked its 447th Foundation Day, the people had little reason to celebrate. Instead of progress, what we see are floods, ghost projects, and leaders quick to deny accountability.

The province that produced G*t. Marcelo H. Del Pilar—lawyer, journalist, and the Great Propagandist—now suffers under officials who have betrayed his ideals of truth and justice.

Bulacan has become “Number One”—not in development, but in corruption. Until accountability is demanded, our people will continue to drown not only in floodwaters, but in betrayal.

How ironic that while billboards and tarpaulins boast of “love of history and progress,” the only history being written is one of plunder, and the only progress achieved is the fattening of pockets.

Even ghosts in cemeteries are now jealous—at least they rest in peace. In Bulacan, ghost projects don’t rest; they keep haunting taxpayers with vanished funds and endless floods.

Happy Foundation Day, Bulacan: 447 years old, yet still treated like an infant by leaders who think the people can be lulled with pomp, pageantry, and posters while truth is buried under mud and murky waters.

Bulacan @447: A grim celebration
of M.H. Del Pilar's 175rh Birthday

As Bulacan marked its 447th Foundation Day last August 15, Bulakenyos had little reason to celebrate. Instead of progress, what we see are floods, ghost projects, and leaders quick to deny accountability. The infamous quote of a governor "WALA AKONG ALAM DYAN" is now etched in a historical nightmare.

Happy 175th Birthday PLARIDEL and happy Foundation Day, Bulacan: 447 years old, yet still treated like an infant by leaders who think the people can be lulled with pomp, pageantry, endless relief goods and ayuda of all sorts while truth is buried under mud and murky waters.
