TESDA secretary Augusto Boboy Syjuco is a behemoth when it comes to politics. An astute marketing man, he has succeeded in fooling the people of the 2nd district of Iloilo to give him a congressional seat in 1998, and then hand it over to his wife, Judy Jalbuena Syjuco, who ran unopposed in 2004. With the personal and government resources at his disposal, it is hard to imagine the Syjucos being afraid of being challenged in an election. But the Syjucos are trembling with fear, and that’s because the handwriting is becoming clearer and clearer on the wall — they are on the way to tumbling down from power by May 2010.
This fear is the reason Boboy Syjuco, the wicked genius in this conjugal political power, is pouring his every effort to get rid of his enemies. He is working hard to avoid having to confront a legitimate opponent in the elections, and seek to hold on to a congressional seat for another three years. I represent one of the biggest threats to their continued hold on 2nd district politics. No, it’s not because I have tons of money to buy votes the way they do. What I have is a vast arsenal of issues to be thrown against them, each fatal and guaranteed to bring them down in an election.
Syjuco has exhausted his bag of tricks. It will never happen that he or Judy will run unopposed. If I can’t run as he is desperately trying to achieve through legal maneuvers, then I will work twice as hard to support the candidate of the Liberal party. One thing is guaranted — the era of the Syjucos is over. After June 30, 2010, the couple can just pack their bags and live as if nothing happened in their Forbes Park residence. They will go down in history as the most reviled and mocked couple in the 2nd district.
