Six days from now, the official campaign season for local candidates will start after the holy week. As we strengthen and deepen our relationship with the Lord, especially at this season of meditation, reflection and contemplation, let us also pray to be guided to choose the best people to be our next national and local leaders. Let us look at qualification, performance, ability and commitment to serve, love and compassion, sincerity, personality, among others.

I believe in making sure that we are ready and prepared to serve Iloilo City with excellence. After graduating AB Economics from Ateneo De Manila in 2001 (Dean's Lister, 2nd honors with Mcphelin Award for Academic Excellence), I pursued post graduate studies and got my Basic Management Program from the Asian Institute of Management in 2003 (Awarded Best Integration Project), Masters in Public Management major in Local Government Administration from the University of the Philippines OU Diliman Campus in 2006 at age 26 and my Doctor of Management with concentration in Public Management from the Central Philippine University in 2009 at age 29. Moreover, I always attend local and international seminars and training programs to continuously improve myself and learn more skills. We have also organized, led and implemented 18 annual special programs and projects for the benefit of various sectors like, the Dinagyang Danceshowdown, the bloodletting project, LEX ACP, LEX Program, Pabunyag sa Syudad ni LEX Tupas, Kasadyahan Pangkabataan, Ethics & Public Accountability Seminar, Scholarships, etc. We have also authored and passed 16 major and some landmark ordinances like the Anti-Internet Pornography Ordinance, CCTV Ordinance, Children's Welfare Code of Iloilo City, the lowering of Amusement taxes on concerts, etc. and 41 resolutions focusing on the poor, women, elderly, children, tourism, information technology, and trade and industry. As such, I am honored, blessed and thankful to have been awarded twice, the Dangal ng Bayan Award for City Legislative and Service Excellence and to have the highest performance approval rating by the City residents as seen in the results of the RACI Survey on such. We are also glad to be the consistent top choice of the Ilonggos based on reliable and scientific surveys. These are results of our cooperation, collaboration and partnership. Without the support and trust of the Ilonggos of Iloilo City all of these wouldn't have been possible. I owe my post and what we have achieved to them.

Sa atun nga pagUGYON, madamu na ang atun nabuligan. Sa atun ng pagUGYON, madamu na ang atun naubrahan. Sa atun nga pagUGYON, madamu na nga mga handum para sa Syudad ang atun natuman..pero damu pa ta handum para sa Syudad, damu pa ta bululigan, damu pa ta UGYONAN..Amu na gapangayu gid ako sang padayun ninyo nga mabaskog, solido, todo todo kag bira bira nga suporta para kay LEX Tupas. Indi ko ni masarangan kung wala kamu. Kilanglan ko ang bulig sang kada Ilonggo sa Syudad. Updi ninyo ako sa padayun nga pagpabaskog sang pamilyang Ilonggo kag Syudad sang Iloilo. UGYON ta sa kadalag-an. Pumuluyo sang Syudad sang Iloilo, Kamu ang number 1 sa gihapon para kay LEX Tupas.

Bangud sa pumuluyo sang syudad, naging number 1 City Councilor si LEX Tupas sang 2010 asta subong.
Bangud sa inyo, asta subong gapanguna si LEX Tupas nga ginapili maging konsehal sa gihapon
Sa balota kay alphabetical order, ika27 TUPAS, LEX

My first born moves up to the next level of education. I'm so proud of my daughter. She enjoys going to school and playing with her classmates and schoolmates. I now appreciate my parents more and my grandparents. Our children are really our biggest blessings and gifts from God.

7 weeks left..
