IF I were with Team Oca, this much I can and would say.

Now that I am running under Team Oca, I am not going to believe that he is a womanizer. And so, what if he is? We’re a macho country, right? Many politicians do it, from presidents to senators and down the local governments. Personal iyan, mga pare. Hindi iyan oobra! So what if so and so is his girlfriend? Have you seen or heard his wife complaining? His children, perhaps! Tsismis lang iyan. Ask the contractors if he violated their wives? Tsismis iyan.

I am with Team Oca. He does not steal. He bought properties with his own money. Pinagpaguran iyan, pare! You said his school buildings are overpriced? Prove it. Ask the Commission of Audit. Ask the architects and engineers. Ask the contractors. Ask for details if you can get them. Those estimates are unfounded. The 400k per school building donated by organizations is not true.

I am with Team Oca. Some businessmen say he owes them this much money. Millions, that’s crazy! He never borrows that much money. Basin iyang sakop and Oca does not know it. Look at the signature. It may not even be his. His closest aides are getting filthy rich, you say. Ibog lang mo.

Oca, a womanizer? I don’t think so. Those girls who claimed to have engaged him by twos are out to destroy his image. He goes to Church regularly.

Oh, that woman who claimed to have brought evidence to a Church leader. She is not credible. Her documents are faked.

Look at his schools, concrete roads and renovated city hospital. Overpriced, you say. But what has the previous Mayor done? Kinsa man pud ang wala mangawat kung tinuod? Ibog lang mo.

Look at our Duaw Park and Gaston Park? Never mind the P5 million spent for Duaw. COA never questioned that. Why should you? Gaston Park looks nice, right? Maski wala na muandar and fountain. Never mind the fountain heads. Gitaya na man to. Ask James Judith. He knows. He was last seen with them. Those fountain heads have no value. They are made of brass. Gitaya na gyud.

I love Team Oca. Investment grew under his tutelage. Dongkoy Emano only had SM and Robinson. Oca has more than that. Thus, our income also grew by leaps and bounds. That is why Speaker Sonny Belmonte sent Glenn Bañez to help Oca collect the right taxes from our business sector. Never mind if he’s the only outsider to become our city treasurer. None is qualified from Cagayan de Oro. Puro bugok ang taga Cagayan.

I do not know how much the income of the city is. It’s not important. For as long as Oca builds more schools, he is okay. For the boys is normal, you know. What I do not know does not hurt.

So what if our city is dirty. Since when has it been clean? Panahon pa ni Dongkoy, hugaw na na. And our traffic, you say, is messy? Look at Divisoria! Hastang hapsaya. We have an able Hapsay chair successfully making our Divisoria a showcase for orderly traffic despite zero-budget. Never mind Cogon and Carmen markets. Sala na ni Dongkoy.

I am a team player. I believe in honest governance, transparent and with accountability. I believe that government officials should be morally upright. I believe in Oca. After all, I am with Team Oca. Those accusations are meant only to destroy him.

Salamat na lang nga dili ako uban kanila. I know Oca.
