I want to identify this government official but since I am still verifying this report, I deemed it wise to unname him.
Based on reports, this government official is reportedly sick with throat cancer. Doctors who privately confided with this official gave him just less than six months to live.
This news is spreading like wildfire among government employees and officials as well. Many say this news emanated from the staff who overheard these government officials talking about it inside a certain "Balai"
who is this official who reportedly realized how mortal he is when he heard the bad news? Clue, he exercises tremendous power. Another clue---no one will inherit his estate if he dies.
According to reports, the cancer is reportedly terminal.
Another clue---the medical records and bulletin of this government official were never published, a break in the tradition of the post he occupies.

Nasugbu Coasts
Yesterday, I saw how beautiful Nasugbu really is. I devoted my weekends exploring the Southern part of Luzon and I was amazed. The potential of creating something beautiful is there already. Truly, the Provincial government of Batangas must be doing something really fantastic in that province because the place has been transformed into a very good investment site.
I just can't write all the things i've seen but I see the enormous potential of Batangas as either the next Singapore or even the next Brazil, albeit, more beautiful. Every town that I've visited, namely, Lemery, Lian, Nasugbu, Taal have infrastructures already which I believe, is first-class. Some suggestions:
(1) Government must fast-track the building of a modern rail system going to Batangas. It should be a must. The potential of that province is really enormous! A modern rail system will definitely lessen travel time to and fro the province.
(2) Government must continue developing the Nasugbu port. It is strategically located and can boost inter-country trade. Razon should be building another ICTSP there instead of concentrating in other countries. With the internal local economy boosted by entrepreneurial power, it should be logical for government to support it by building port structures there, a modern one at that.
(3) The Batangas provincial government should allocate land for a Central Business District. Let Ayala Land build it. We should allow foreign businesses to setup shop in Batangas. There should be high-rise buildings there.
(4) The DOT should invigorate tourism efforts in the province. DOT should tie up with the DPWH to develop not only farm to market roads, but also more expansive national roads to accommodate more tourists.
(5) Private companies should build more hotels, more leisure and recreational facilities. I think government should build a casino there to entice jetsetters and high-stakes rollers.
We must veer away from thinking Batangas as just a site for second homes to foreigners and rich locals. We must expand our thinking to include it as one of the Philippines' next generation modern cities.
For those who are disillusioned with the squalor of Metro Manila, there is still hope. For those who have the money, the vision , the grit and the will to see changes in our country, it's time to pour your resources together and transform Batangas.
