CATBALOGAN CITY, Samar  –  Supporters of Samar’s Second District Representative Sharee Ann Tan were surprised when they saw their elected Representative on national television, as the whole nation was focused in anticipation of PGMA’s 7th State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Others did not believe at first that it was the young Tan who stood with Speaker Jose De Venecia in front with JDV’s relatives.

When the young Tan spoke, as she administers JDV’s Oath of Office, it was when the Samarnons here in Samar became sure that it was her voice and she was Sharee Ann Tan sharing the limelight in Congress.

Gorgeous and svelte in her corporate look, the youngest member of 14th Congress made her fellow Samarnons proud for the very honor as she assumed her first day of office as their representative. 

Earlier though as the 14th congress battled with the speakership, PIA learned that it was Tan who seconded the motion of Cebu Representative Antonio Cuenco when he stood up and nominated De Venecia.

JDV’s oath came just a few minutes before the much awaited SONA of President Arroyo and that the whole nation was glued to their TV sets.

Samarnons now feel that Tan’s first day of service was well worth it and hope that with fuller days ahead of her in Congress she would truly represent her constituents back in Samar and deliver her campaign promises.
