A Letter to the People of San Jose del Monte

Our journey on the road to the 2010 National and Local Elections has begun. This is evidenced by the tons of campaign propaganda and paraphernalia which are scattered all around the city and by the presence of politicians in the many events happening all around San Jose del Monte.

My fellow citizens, as early as now, let us have a mindset of hope and change. Let us think of what and who the City needs to achieve this change, and bring forth even just a glimmer of hope that the long yearned progress is at hand.

In my eyes, San Jose del Monte is a City torn of all aspects of cityhood. We lack in the forefronts of Infrastructure, Health Care, Education, Employment, Environment, Public Governance and even in local Economy (Livelihood).

We need decent roads that could ferry tourists to would be tourist attractions or investors to would be industrial and special economic zones. We need decent Hospitals that are equipped with the current medical technology and qualified doctors and staff who would care for our sick. Our city has high rates of illiteracy and unemployment. We need legislation to ensure this is addressed and programs to implement course of actions. We have countless needs, and we yearn for people who can remedy these.

On our part, we should be INVOLVED and not just wait for the would be leaders to act. We have our own obligations as citizens of this city. It is our job to have the proper and moral choice of leadership to govern our city. More so, it is our job to be proactive and act even in our smallest ways to improve our situation.

Let us be reminded that we are given free will on our choice come May 2010. Use that vote as if that is the last full measure of loyalty you can give to your country and city. Please select wisely and act not on emotion, but on the promises of vision and strong leadership.

Mabuhay ang San Joseño. A Reinstate Looming .
