         All these activitist of former Abra Provincial Board Member perhaps caught the ire of Governor Vicente P. Valera since he ordered other Provincial Board Members (Committe on Ethical Standards) to file an administrative case against him because he is Acting like an Executive/ Governor.  But at the end Former Board Member Syd Vasquez was victorous.

 

         However another incident happen between Governor Valera and Former Board Member Syd Vasquez when the latter brought the personal letter of then SENATOR GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO to Governor Valera to merge their Political Parties since Former Board Member Vasquez is the Organizing Chairman of KAMPI in Abra and Gov. Valera is also the Provincial Chairman of Lakas, NUCD, UMDP of Abra too. Former Board Member Syd Vasquez courageously presented the letter of then Sen. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo at the palacial residence of Governor Valera on top of Emerald Hills overlooking the whole of Bangued, when suddenly Governor Valera positioned himself like Manny Pacquiao, challenging Board Member Syd Vasquez to run as Governor also.  Then all of a sudden Governor Valera HIT Former Board Member Syd Vasquez in the face.  But this incident didn't just end there but Board Member Syd Vasquez bravely filed a case against Governor Valera.

 

         Perhaps the day has come for them to face the People of Abra and be selected who is best fitted to lead the Province of Abra and truly graduate as one (1) of the 40 Poorest Provinces in our Country until this very moment.  Governor Valera has been the Leader of our Province for the past 20 years.  And for those who have stayed permanently in the Province like Former Board Member Syd Vasquez since Birth, there is never an improvement ECONOMICALLY but rather deteriorated.  Only a few improvement can be noticed, but this is because of OFW's.

 

         Former Board Member Vasquez envisions ABRA in the next 10 Years that it shall not only be the MICRO HYDRO ELECTRIC CAPITAL of the Philippines but also the Fruit (High Yield) Basket Capital too of the Philippines.
