Binay Should Duplicate His Good Deeds In Makati
By Quirico M. Gorpido,Jr.
Binay has done great deeds for the general welfare of the people of Makati particularly to its poor residents and its senior citizens. Now that he is fortunate to have been elected as Vice-President during the recent first automation polls on May 10,2010 national and local elections as “a gift and as surprise” from the entire electorate, it’s high time that he will consider as well the great deeds that he has done as a former third-termer Mayor of Makati City. Makati City is the country’s premier business center, where big local and foreign investors have chosen to establish their respective businesses.
His political ads that appeared in a popular Manila-based tabloid prior to the recent May 2010 first automation polls, regarding his various programs for the benefit of the poor and senior citizens, are worthy of duplication and emulation.
What Binay did was to provide free schooling and free school supplies for the children of poor families, free hospitalizations and medicines for its indigents, providing some social benefits and financial assistance for the senior citizens, among others.
His political slogan “sanay ganito rin sa buong bansa” is a great slogan that can possibly be applied and practiced to all Local Government Units in the entire archipelago. In fact, his kind of programs as Makati Chief Executive was the driving force that drove majority of the millions of poor Filipino Voters to vote in his favour for the Vice-Presidential seat. We hope that Binay has perceived these things.
Now that he has realized his dream of becoming the second highest official of the Republic, it’s now his great opportunity to materialize his other dream of implementing similar programs that he’s espoused while he was still the Makati Mayor. That is for the upliftment of the well-being and the general welfare of the millions of poor and the rest of the people in the Philippines.
And now that the post-election ranting of alleged fraud and the “dagdag-bawas” syndrome from among the losers that subjected some COMELEC and Smartmatic officials from the grinds of the Senate inquiries are over, let us give our full support to the new Vice-President-elect Jejomar Binay,regardless of whether you voted for him or not.
If his dream for the people of Makati has become a concrete reality during his incumbency, why not in the entire country as well? Binay really needs a strong political will to achieve his goals. We hope that he can achieve this kind of big beneficial dream for the entire Filipinos. And that his colleagues in the Upper and Lower house in Congress will also give their full support in realizing his objectives for the benefit and the upliftment of all Filipinos. More power to you, Vice-President-elect Jejomar Binay.(Quirico M. Gorpido,Jr.)
P.S. The name Maro Blauta, who supposedly made an acceptance response in behalf of all the awardees in my news story entitled “Provl Govt. Hands Over Plaques Of Recognitions To Former Provincial Officials/Awards MOSL” is a “mistaken identity”. Mistaken identity here simply means that it was Educator Juanito Acero Lao, who made an acceptance response and spoke in behalf of all the awardees. My apologize to the readers-QMG,Jr.
