It is a great honor and a privilege to be given the chance to serve Iloilo City for 3 years now as City Councilor. As I now ask for another chance to continue serving them with the same post, I entrust my political fate and fortune at the hands of the people of Iloilo City and the grace of God.

It's about three weeks to go until judgment day for us candidates. Going around the city is nothing new to me. Before and after the 2007 elections, I have never ceased to go around barangays as I met, talked to and consulted the people of Iloilo City. I am a representative of the people in the City Council and I should understand them well. To ascertain such, going to their areas and knowing their concerns is a must so that I could do my role much better as a legislator and a public servant. Being in touch with the people I serve is necessary to be an excellent public servant.

Even with the heat of the sun, the hours of walking, the pressing of the flesh, the media exposures and the like, I enjoy being with the people and I am thankful for their warm hospitality.

This coming election is not about Lex Tupas. It's about what is best for the city and who the people want to serve them in the various posts. To God be the glory and I pray that the city decides well.

UGYON Iloilo!

Thirty days from now, we will be making possible life changing and direction changing decisions for our respective communities and the country as a whole. It is best that we analyze well and look closely at the plans, visions and performance of those who are interested to serve us.

In my case, I am overwhelmed by the strong and warm support of the people of Iloilo City as past and present surveys show us to be on top for the race for the city council. To be number 1 in a highly urbanized city with more or less 250,000 voters is a blessing from the Lord and a gift from the people of Iloilo City. I am honored, privileged, humbled and grateful of such. I am definitely more inspired and given more strength and courage to work well and work harder for the continuous progress of the City of Love.

Just like in the previous elections of 2007, I entrust my political fate and fortune at the hands of the people of Iloilo City with the blessing of God. I owe to the people my position. I am their public servant. To God be the glory.
