MAYOR RSG: “BE LIKE RIZAL”

MIAGAO, Iloilo – “Dapat mapractice man naton ang pagkavigilante ni Rizal. You don’t have to fight just for your own right but also of the right of the Filipinos.”
This was the strong message and challenge of Mayor Richard Garin to the Miagaowanons, mostly government employees who attended the Rizal Day celebration on December 30, 2022.
According to Mayor Garin, if Miagaowanons could at least be ten percent like Rizal, Miagao and the whole Philippines would be very much progressive.
“If you do something bad, may kontra guid ikaw. If you will do good may kontra man ikaw sa guihapon. Kun may makita ikaw nga deperensia sa opisina mo ano himuon mo? Just do what do you think is good para sa opisina mo sa banwa mo,” he concluded.
