On her 2016 State of the Municipality Address: From the start, I always see to it that our administration is participative and consultative, empowering our communities, has always the objective of public service, has the political will, good legacy for the next generation, and enabling change for the better—-that is a people-centered government. Dili nato makab-ot ang kalambuan kung dili nato apilon sa pagplano ang atong katawhan ug dili nato huna-hunaon ang atong katawhan. We are a government of action who wants more progress and development—not only for the physical or structural development of our municipality but also involving inner growth of our people.
