From the Administrator:

It's still a long way to go before election time. I hope the candidates and their supporters alike will keep their composure for the entire stretch and just peacefully enjoy the democratic process. We appreciate and laud the candidates for their desire to serve the hometown we all so love. And with that as common ground, we expect everyone to play fair and square and show to the world that our small island is one place where politics is but secondary to our bond as Abaknons.

For the voters, let's all listen to what the candidates offer. Let everyone be heard. After that, let's all ponder and decide who among those aspirants have the best plans for our town. In the end, that's all that should matter.

Good luck to all!

This group won Best in Costume and Best in Performance Showcase for the barangay-based competition.

Truly, it was heartwarming to see people brave the punishing summer heat and the tiring wait just to be able to cast their votes. There is no doubt in my mind that the results reflected the Abaknons’  true democratic will. However, why they voted for whom is an entirely different issue.  I wish to think that in the final analysis, they did vote with the thought of what’s best for Capul. But even with that, any voter who receives money during election time still compromises his vote.  While I do not wish to rob the winners of the glory of their victory, I bet that the aftertaste of their win would have been much sweeter if they (again, i mean ALL of them) did not gi...
