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!
