TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte
– As the new mayor officially took his post Monday, he assured the
city government employees of his support and enjoined them to continue
working on their respective field of assignments towards the
betterment of public service.
Speaking before an
overwhelming attendance during the flag raising ceremony (in which he
led), Mayor Alfred Romualdez, said he look forward to working with
everybody in the city government and at the same assured them of
continuity. Mayor Alfred was referring to the good projects and
programs that was left by former Mayor Bejo Romualdez, which he said,
he will make them even better.
According to the new
mayor, he has a different style of management, and that he wants to be
closer to every employee. As part of his own style, he would call on
every employee or by department, for dialogue to find out their
conditions, situations, and what other concerns they have, so he
(Mayor) would know where he could come in and help address a
particular concern.
“You know tapos na ang
election, and I feel that mataas and expectations ng mga Taclobanon sa
atin, especially sa akin. So I would really appreciate it and ask that
we work together”.
During his short
speech, he also took the opportunity to thank those who supported his
candidacy during the last election, and for who did not, he said, he
respect their opinion.
“Everyone will be
treated fairly, basta ako ang number one lang dito, is our loyalty to
our people, lets show them that we are capable of ‘di lang good
governance, but excellent governance for your future and the future of
Tacloban City”, he said.
Meanwhile, during the
oath taking ceremony last June 30, the young Mayor Romualdez, also
offered his hands to government and barangay officials present, to
working together for the City of Tacloban as he envisions more
projects and programs during his incumbency.
