		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Nograles, however, faces the same challenge his nemesis Duterte does: how to pass on the political baton and maintain the carefully nurtured network and power he currently enjoys.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Nograles has already attended to this through various ways, fair and/or foul. 

First, he made his son Karlo Nograles his chief of staff. It could be a move to get Nograles the Younger acquainted with the nitty-gritty of legislative work. 

Second, Karlo Nograles is in charge of Speaker Nograles&#039; program &quot;Tatak K&quot;--a hodgepodge of livelihood program, vocational training, etc. Although it&#039;s a public service program, as Nograles the Younger claims, few would deny that it is a ploy to sell Nograles the Younger. As one blogger puts it, &quot;Tatak K is the brand to sell the son. I would not even guess his political agenda but the word magnanimity was never associated with the father, maybe the son is different? What was the old maxim about the fruit never falling far from the tree or was it shit from the ass?&quot; (http://searchingforpablo.i.ph/blogs/searchingforpablo/2009/01/14/tatak-k/)   

Third, whenever there is a project (e.g. road widening, turnover of utility vehicles, etc.) that the Speaker &quot;initiates&quot;, he sees to it that the project is through the initiative of Rep. Prospero Nograles, Speaker of the House &lt;b&gt;and&lt;/b&gt; Atty. Karlo Nograles, Chief of Staff.</description>

		<description>No, that Nograles has been elected for five times is no sign of his competence. Fact is, Nograles just knows how to plant seeds---the seeds being covered Basketball courts, scholarship program granted to people who, I was told by one of his scholar, will vote for him...</description>
