For the most peaceful town during the election period,Governor vows more projects, bigger budget

ARAYAT, Pampanga–Governor Lilia G. Pineda vowed to give a bigger pie of the annual budget and more projects for the municipality that could be recorded the most peaceful during the election and would be able to maintain the peace and order should she win her re-election bid in May 2013.
“Kung ako ay mananalong muli sa halalan, pangako ko na bibigyan ko ng pinakamalaking budget ang bayan na may pinakamapayapang halalan,” the governor said.
This came as the barangay officials and health workers assembled yesterday at the Arayat National Park to greet and give the governor a surprised advanced birthday party.
As the governor acknowledged the effort of the local officials, she took advantage of the event to appeal to Arayat resident to help in the peace and order situation and assist the law enforcers and the Commission on Election (Comelec) to guard and implement a peaceful holding of the election in May 13, this year.
“I promised you to give bigger financial assistance should you help maintain the peace and order in this town this coming election,” Pineda vowed.
It can be recalled that Pampanga has been tagged by the Comelec as one of the 15 provinces under the watch-list of the commission.
“Let us show to the whole country that we are a province of peace-loving people who work for progress and development,” Pineda said.
Vice Mayor Larry Trinidad, who is eyeing the highest position in this town, said they would cooperate for the peaceful election and added that they were happy because the governor opted to spend her birthday with the people in Arayat who had been very supportive to her programs in the provincial government.
Trinidad stressed that the town is close to the heart of Pineda as this was the first among the municipalities in the province visited by the governor soon as she formally started discharging the duties of the provincial chief executive in 2010.
The vice mayor said, now this town was the first to be visited by the governor a day before her actual birthday celebration.
Municipal Councilor Editha Kabigting said, “it was a fruitful and blessed morning for the Arayatenos.” ●Elaine Mercado
