All’s well, the gov is back!

Leyte Governor Jericho “Icot” Petilla arrives Thursday at Tacloban City; he goes to calle Z café Friday, to meet with members of the Leyte Provincial Board. He obviously misses everyone and the action.

It was no secret he was away for sometime due to some serious heart ailment. And there was a sense of guarded optimism when news came in trickles from the US, that treatment (open-heart surgery? woa!) was just doing fine.

Everyone was relieved therefore, to the delight and collective sigh of everyone - including the sizable Friday crowd at calle Z - to see the young, pro-active governor paying a surprise visit at the café, not alone by himself, but with the members of the Provincial Board at that!

Glad to have you back, Guv! Way to go!
