where less politics is used, or none at all, meaningful accomplishments happen. those who benefit from these should continue the principles behind such accomplishments and hopefully consider uplifting Bacon as a whole. big job maybe and politics could be at play at this point, but with the wisdom acquired, there is a way not to fall into the traps of Bacon/Sorsogon politics.

Congratulations Bacon for having a daughter like Dr. Detera-Wadleigh and more power to her!!!
