CHECK FOR PAYMENT OF TRANSLATION OF THE

Locally-grown bonsay at the bonsai section on the Capitol grounds

NEW REVISED TAX CODE OF ILOCOS NORTE HAS been languishing (like Mikey Arroyo's "lazy" bill on security guards) for the past three weeks at the Provincial Treasury Office. This is unjustified delay and we may ask the intercession of Provincial Assessor Atty. Ermie Labayog for the release of the check. Ania't napasamak, Apo Treasurer?  Shall we write Gov. Imee R. Marcos about this bureaucratic inefficiency? The blogger understands that as per rare and short interviews with the young lawyer, the lady governor frowns on lousy jobs and easily gets angry. Incidentally, the Treasury Office has signs all over the walls warning against fixers.  Now we understand why there are fixers to expedite matters at a cost. Shall we ask the lawyer, a nephew, to "fix" those people? The blogger is not dropping names--we are only calling the attention of Mr. Marino Guieb and his fellows at the Ilocos Norte media bureau. The check has feet that unfortunately are disabled and is moving at snail's pace to the next several desks inside the TO?
