Baby boomers - Ilonggos born between 1945-1949. Today they are either venerable captains of industry or many have been relegated to seeing the twilight of their lives in nursing homes listening to dzRJ(?), heaven forbid!

Local politics - The colorful arena and staging ground of past political personalities who, by sheer force of their persona (and wealth)launched their political careers riding on the voting power of the economic class c and d with the monicker, "Timawa".

Wish list: 1) Baby boomers with a progressive set of agenda for Iloilo City culled from lessons learned when they were fighting it out in the various battlefields: corporate, academe, foreign deployments, scientific laboratories, military arsenal and what-have-you;
2) A partylist composed of baby boomers who can rally the silent majority from self-imposed stupor and have a go at it again (and again!).
3) Baby boomers who can emulate the grit and colorful language of a Roding Ganzon, the quiet dignity of a Paeng Lopez-Vito, the business savvy of a Fermin Caram and other leaders who can transform Iloilo City into what it ought to be today and not just the "next big thing."

Until then, I'll just dream on.
