Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the info. I included it in the post as an update.
Condolence to Mrs. Josiephine dC Dominguez, her children and grandchildren.
May you be comforted by those people around you.
And to all the people of Mountain Province…let us go down on our knees and pray for a true and dignified leader…
1)one WITH A DEEP REVERENCE AND FEAR OF GOD (so he will loath corruption and greed and not just take advantage of his position to amass wealth for his own)
2)one WHO HAS THE HEART TO SINCERELY SERVE HIS CONSTITUENTS (by avoiding friends and family members to get involved in any government business or putting them in positions)
3)one WHO HAS IN HIS MIND TO DO ALL HE CAN TO UPLIFT THE CONDITION OF HIS PROVINCE (by making sure that every tax payer’s money is spent appropriately)
4)and one WHO CAN LEAVE A LEGACY OF GOOD LEADERSHIP AND GENUINE PUBLIC SERVICE.
God help Mountain Province!!!
My condolence to the bereaved family.
wow! until to the last breath he is still “praise” with flying colors ha! common! let us not be hypocrites to tell the truth about him! or are u telling all these because he is already dead? there are 2 parts that death can do in a person….one is to be remember for the good and 2nd is to be remember for the bad….MP people,can each one of us speak out what was the greatest thing that he did? for our province? well not to qoute: the MP roads was almost 25 years UNDER CONSTRUCTION! how owns the latest models of cars in the province? isnt it the people who are in his hands….the “papasurot”. wow! genuine legacy of leadership? that must be completely correct if u continued it these way: genuine leader of corruptions! next: who owns the big buildings in the province? its all the right hands? ask how much is there salary in a month to put up those assests….. how much is the salary of being a congressman????? so u can own every thing u want…. instead of giving to the poor people of MP who needs help…. what a shame to read in the news that one of the leading poorest province is MP.. and there u are saying he was a good servant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah its time for MP to take a deep breath cos after all its now free from the jail in the hands of a “martial law leader”.
Oh…please read again…I DID NOT refer at all to the late congressman…what i meant was…LET US PRAY FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS…because he was never these kind of a leader…UNDERSTAND???? that’s why i said let us pray for a true and dignified leader…meaning…he wasn’t this kind of a leader…MAAWATAM???
It is sad to see this solon leave his province (he has so longly represented) still struggling and deeply buried in corruption and poverty. It is more disheartening to see him leave his family (meaning his clan) divided because of politics and greed.
As we quote from the Bible…Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?…
What good will it be for a “leader” if he gains all the money and power yet loses the respect of his family and relatives, his dignity and honor because of greed.
May I quote from one of the columnists in a widely circulated newspaper in baguio city…
‘Why is it that we do not mourn his passing? That’s the problem when you stay too long. Instead of shedding tears, they say “good riddance.”‘
a very very long time public servant who has not truly served the public.
ay apo!!! let’s mourn for him. he’s dead na!!but up to this moment we are still there giving comments. If u are on his shoes..ano????
you know what??? you don’t know what you are mourning for…you mourn for those people he left, still in poverty because of his corruption and greed…you mourn for those people who died of accidents caused by the roads that were not fixed properly because the money alloted was not fully used instead was pocketed by him and his so called “contractors”…you mourn for your province because of the many years wasted and corrupted during his very long term…
k fine!!but….nobody is perfect…nobody wants to die in an accident or nobody wants to be poor, this ia God’s will….ngem koma waday koma nabati ay respeto tay ninserbi met laeng cna probinsiya taku…hope naawatam!!!!!
My condolence to the bereaved family of the late congressman dominguez.May his soul rest in peace.Without his scholarship,i would not be where i am now.He has helped a lot of poor students who are deserving,achieved their dreams.Like everyone,he is a human being and not a perfect one.Why don’t we all join hands together and pray for his loved ones that he left behind that they find comfort and peace as well?Hopefully,mountain province will have a strong,respectable,and a proffessional leader soon.
TO ANONYMOUS: How dare you accuse Cong.Dominguez of those lies! everything that had uplifted Natonin from its shell is credited to Cong. Vic. and how dare you speak of mourn when you yourself don’t know how to mourn. RESPECT! siguro you came from a family of untamed breeders…. hahahahahahahahaha…. kaasi ka met!
to the scholar of mr. dominguez: JUST TO CLARIFY. THE MONEY SPENT ON YOUR EDUCATION DID NOT COME FROM HIS PERSONAL MONEY. IT CAME FROM TAXPAYER’s MONEY. GO THANK THE TAXPAYERS.
to anyone who knows anything about the dominguez family: check out his houses, and his family’s assets. estimate how much they are worth. then, compare that with how much a congressman makes a month. less than 50K/month. where is the difference coming from? go figure. you dont have to be very smart to do so.

Sinong pulitiko ang malinis o nagmamalinis.Sabihin nyo nga.Pare-parehas lnag iyan.May worst nga lang.Ang mga galit ay yung mga hindi naamutan.
jeff dominguez,a relative from the U.S.A wants to communicate with you.What’s your e-mail address? or any link you can provide.
To Jane Goliad: I’m not a recipient of his milliones
and not angry. Were you a beneficiary?
to trueblue
I am not in anyway related to cong.dominguez nor am i recipient of his millions.i don’t even live there.i am just expressing my views.he is dead…..Keep throwing stones if you are sinless……………
Sinless people are not the issue here. Your jarringly rude generalization of people, “Ang mga galit ay yung hindi naamutan” is my only disappointment. Such an inference though is well taken in this unbiased-blog, as we always “agree to disagree” and furthermore, “to each his/her own in the words of Surfer Wil. Cheers and goodhealth to all.
TO TRUEBLUE
I ADMIT,YOU’RE RIGHT,MAYBE SO.IT WAS A SPONTANEOUS REACTION TO THE ONGOING MOMENTUM.THIS ENDS THIS TOPIC.

hi jeff, this is your ate ellen from texas,i had been trying to look for your mom auntie chato and also looking for your email. heard you were in rome. please email me if you read this message.
thanks,
ate ellen
all commenters should bravely sign their names and not hide under the word anonymous.thank you.
rose padilla’s post regarding “anonymous” commenters is old news in this blog. So long as anonymous opinions carry rational substance to subject matter, it’s really no big deal, bravery has nothing to do with it. Besides, anyone can write their names as “rose padilla” in every comments, now, what are you gonna do? Cheers to us!
He’s six feet under the ground, we can’t resurrect him to answer accusations nor receive praises anymore. If you are concerned about taxpayer’s money, watch over the still living politicians, government officials and employees, i.e. auditors and accountants,highway engineers,school principals, health officials, government lawyers, supply officers, etc. It’s not hard to find them. Do a little math and it’s easy to spot who’s guilty of corruption, smalltime or bigtime. One rotten tomato exposed every week will help clean the basket. Students of investigative journalism (what’s exactly does it mean?) should be given this as assignment by their college instructors, like cases for nursing students. This should be the job of organized NGO monitoring groups, but there maybe few rotten tomotoes there,too.
Just my opinion.
Mp road 25 under years construction. Neither it is so because our country is yearly visited by typhoons and heavy rain. So let us be realistic. Further, blame first the direct constructors who tightly budget or made compliance work. However, I think our road is better now than before. Coz before, we traveled Baguio Guinzadan 7 hours with bus now 5 hours. I recommend the commentator to visit the suburb roads in the lowland. The only 5 km road from the hiway to Tanglag, was started 2000 and not yet finish. Coz their tricks is before election 50 to 100 meters one lane was cemented the next 50 meter shall wait for the next election. The result now is the cemented lane is leveled with non cemented lane. Here in this highly developed country Germany, road construction never miss too in time of bad weathers. If the late congressman owned the latest model car, focus your eyes too, to other politicians. Mp is the poorest Prov. Question the Governor of Mp. He is there to answer your problem. I think so that the late congressman Victor Dominguez, was a real public servant. Why did the people re-elected him repeatedly? Corruption? All politicians in the 3rd world or here in this modern world the people called them corrupt. Dear commentator may I shot you back this question. If you are a politician, DO U HAVE THE HEART OF PASSION? The space is wide enough for your answer.
To Igorotak I am very proud being an Igorot, but ashame to read your comment. Better you`ve gone ANONYMOUS Oh! How naive you are. Atti-attik san nemnem mo.Sure, it was the taxpayers money used for scholarship. The late congressman Victor Dominguez, wisely used the peoples money for the people. This is a very great program. I wish the incumbent politician shall further support this program. For the young generations are the HOPE OF THE NATION.
