How Valenzuelanos can become Ambassadors of Good Governance

I am neither paid nor coerced by the camp of Sen. Grace Poe and Mayor Rex Gatchalian to share some points that you may consider in choosing our country’s next president. I, being a Valenzuelano, will be voting for Sen. Grace Poe and below are my reasons.

1.       Mayor Rex Gatchalian is the spokesperson of Sen. Grace Poe. This means that they have a deep relationship in the political arena. Since this is the case, we can be assured that Valenzuela City will improve enormously on the next six years under her tenure, if she wins.

2.       The marked improvement in Valenzuela City’s governance can be replicated in other local government units since Sen. Poe listens to Mayor Rex. I have read and watched several interviews of Sen. Poe and I always have this feeling that it is Mayor Rex who is also talking because her syntax is most of the time parallel with that of our chief executive.

3.       In specific elaboration to point number one, if Valenzuelanos will have dire concerns in the future, Mayor Rex can easily tap the President for immediate aid or attention.

4.       No matter who wins as the next president of the country, it is ourselves who will make the difference in our lives. BUT, if the next president is ‘close’ to us, we will be one of her priorities.

5.       Sen. Poe knows what to do to alleviate poverty, which is the root cause of other societal problems – drugs, crimes, ignorance, etc. Just like the Gatchalians, she will do business – a carefully crafted one. She will generate 2 million jobs every year, which will be tantamount to the number of families that will be properly fed and be given dignified lives. (If a family, which is the basic unit of the society, is strong from the inside, all its members can potentially contribute to the country’s inclusive growth.)

6.       The additional comfort that we may experience in the future as Valenzuelanos is something that we could also share to our relatives in other parts of the country. How? You know very well that the Gatchalians are just tweets and PMs away, and they ACT and RESPOND. Help is at your fingertips anytime, anywhere. In effect, you, Valenzuelano can be an ambassador of Good Governance to other Filipinos because you know what to do.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you’ve been proud and happy with Valenzuela City’s achievements left and right, let us share the same exhilarating experience to our fellow Filipinos in other parts of the country.

Are you not tired of lifting your brows to political figures who claim that they’re our country’s only hope and salvation? Our salvation will come from ourselves, from our hard work, and wise choices. And I believe that there is no better way of strengthening our government than choosing the leader is reachable to us.
