Many of us may not have realized the menace coal makes. So was I, not until I
lived in New York and was amazed when former Attorney General Eliot Spitzer
asked the Supreme Court to stop the operation of the coal power plants in the
State of Ohio. He won it.
I did not expect that when I went home to the Philippines, the problem on the direct menace of coal will be after me. In fact it is right where I am living.
Some officials of Cadiz made a deal with coal carpetbaggers, and without adhering to the rule of law rammed it on the throats of unsuspecting residents of Cadiz. As gainers of coal either by corruption or capital connections they told those who wanted to find out about coal in Cadiz that coal power plant is a "done deal" as what DYAF anchorman Chito Berjit told me when he asked to interview Mayor Patrick Escalante and was sideswift by an aide telling him that Escalante went to attend another affair, that is despite that Berjit was assured for his time to meet the Mayor. "Anyway, the coal fire plant is already a done deal" Berjit was told by the aide who he said is also an Escalante.
