Congresswoman Janette L. Garin could be one proud wife to her husband Mayor Richard Garin as she sees his ‘sincerity and dedication for the town of Miagao.’

“Richard decided to take this gigantic task of being your Mayor, it is not a walk in a park. Only that the people of Miagao is worth serving for,” Congresswoman Garin said in her speech during the Coronation of the Queen of Miagao 2023 on February 9, 2023.

For Congresswoman Garin, being “Miagaowanon is not only measured by being born here, it is measured by having the passion, the commitment and the pride to make good for your town.”

The couple shares the same vision for Miagao. To date, they are working on the implementation of some huge infrastructure projects that include the construction of the four-storey municipal building and rehabilitation of the cultural hall and plaza.

It is the wife who knows her husband.

This may just be a cliché to some but not for Congresswoman Janette L. Garin who assured all Miagaowanons that when they (together with her husband Mayor Richard Garin) do public service, they do public service.

“What is power all about? It is nothing. What is more important is the legacy, the name that you can leave for your children and your grandchildren. Sara lang ang bata namon ni Richard, we can possibly leave her with all the material things, but all of those will be nothing if we will leave her with bad, tainted name,” Congresswoman Garin said.

Congresswoman Garin also thanked the Miagaowaonons for accepting Mayor Garin in their lives.

“When you accepted him, it is actually an inclination that you accepted us as part of your family. Miagaowanons salamat guid!” she concluded.

Congresswoman Garin was among the guests of honor and speaker during the Coronation of the Queen of Miagao 2023 Ms. Jennifer Mitra Libo-on on February 9, 2023.

These political bigwigs are expected to grace the Coronation Night of the Queen of Miagao 2023 Ms. Jennifer M. Libo-on at the Municipal Plaza on February 8, 2023.

In an interview with Mayor Richard Garin, he said that Congresswoman Lani Mercado – Revilla, Congresswoman Janette Loreto – Garin, and Atty. Harry L. Roque have confirmed their attendance to join the Miagaowanons in this occasion.

Other invited guests are:

– Governor Arthur R. Defensor, Jr.

– Vice Governor Christine S. Garin

– Board Member Jo Ann Germinanda

– DOT Regional Director Crisanta Merlene P. Rodriquez

– DSWD Regional Director Atty. Carmelo N. Nochete

In his message during the Salakayan Mass on February 6, 2023, Fr. Raul Dayaday thanked the Garin Family for their donation of P300,000.00 to the Parish of St. Thomas of Villanova.

“Oca Garin is known for his generosity. Do not only repay kindness, pass it on, so this is part of his kindness that he is sharing with us,” Fr. Dayaday said.
