BALANGA City, Bataan- Gov. Jose Enrique Garcia III of Bataan said Thursday that they will follow what the anti-political dynasty bill will dictate once it passes into a law but asked that lawmakers consider unity and continuity of projects in the bill.
Garcia was former congressman of Bataan’s second district. “Susunod tayo, ang mahalaga lang siguro kahit papaano mapangalagaan sa batas na ito kung paano mapapanatili ang pagkakaisa ng isang probinsiya, ng isang bayan.”
“Dapat maging merit-based ang performance ng naglilingkod regardless kung ka-apelyido ba o o hindi. Ang mahalaga nagpe-perform at makaramdam ng pag-unlad ang ating mga kababayan. Kaya nga isinusulong natin ang system of meritocracy para makita ng taong bayan kung ano ba yong ginagawa sa bawat barangay hanggang sa probinsiya,” the governor said.
Aside from his call for unity, Garcia wants the continuity of good programs of previous administrations. “Kahit magkaroon ng anti-political dynasty law, sana may continuity para hindi masayang ang nasimulang programa ng previous administration.”
He said that all laws depend on the implementation and hope that the bill filed in congress once turned into a law will be for the benefit of the citizens.
Aside from the governor, also in the government service are his two siblings – Congresmen Albert Garcia of the second district and Congresswoman Maria Angela Garcia in the third district. (30)
