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!
