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.
