IT was VERY CLEAR to me that Pedro Paduna R. DL Guerrero was outright “grandstanding and poli-tricking FOR Arnold & Dave with his public outburst to complain about the Democrat Party Chair & Vice Chair.”  This is the same Paduna who told me to shut up in our strategy meeting when I was push…

I WRITE to express two things: my disappointment in the party’s leadership and to urge the direction of inclusion and participation of our members and those who support our vision and values.
