ILOILO 4th district Representative Ferjenel Biron’s adversaries this early have launched their demolition job against him. Could it be that 20 months away from the actual election they are already gripped by panic? Their fear is entirely understandable.

Last week right after our weekly program “The Daily Guardian on Air.” my colleagues and I have noticed about the issues touched by two blocktimers. We sensed that the 2010 political pot is being made to boil prematurely.

There were recycled issues, of course. I wish to see a progressive fourth district of Iloilo because my families are from Dueñas and Passi.

And Biron seems working hard for it.

But Biron’s adversaries are trying to discredit him despite his valuable effort in Congress like the Cheaper Medicines Act. He has also brought to the district many infrastructure projects.

Damu na naga angkon.

Methinks, the objective of the rehashing of issues against Rep. Biron is to diminish the value of his noble projects for the poor.

The hatchet job on Biron is designed to take him out of his post. His would-be political opponents in 2010 are well aware of this premature hatchet job.

Biron’s rivals would be better off expending their resources matching or surpassing the legislator’s valuable performance, rather than engage in anonymous calumny.

It is much too early for them to be smearing reputations, again.

I am not a member of Biron’s pep squad and will not trumpet his feats. Yet, his extended help to his poor constituents and accomplishments are far too visible to ignore.

Take, for instance, the volume of immediate relief assistance that Biron together with municipal officials personally delivered for the victims of typhoon Frank few days before the aid coming from the national government arrived in Iloilo.

Biron spent his own money to buy sacks of rice, canned goods, purified drinking water, medicines etc, for the most affected families in the fourth district of Iloilo.

Whoever are behind this assault need to reassess their battle plan; it might blow up in their faces.
