Since it’s campaign period, I’ll be setting my own sentiment, too.
Every time I read posts in RI it seems that almost all of the comments I’ve read is very negative when it comes to Atty. Eleandro Jesus “Budoy” Fabic Madrona. So I guess it’s useless if I go in their playing field and play with their mind games they use to condition our electorates’ choice making.
I’d still vouch for the Madronas and their team for some good reasons and let me just mention a few.
Firstly, Atty. Budoy is always available and can be reached every time you are in need. He doesn’t know how to say no especially when the things you requested is an emergency or is badly needed. He’ll answer you with a very honest answer: “we will see what we could do…” All you need to do is do a follow-up.
Secondly, he has majority of the Mayors of our Beloved Province. The question is “Why do these Mayors continue to support him?” All of us had our doubts and what ifs… but had you asked the right person. Social media can turn anyone into an angel sent from above and can also demonize others whom them don’t like. It’s easy… but again, the question is, do you really know the real score of the story? Do you know what really is happening? Don’t be afraid to ask your beloved Mayors about it and they’ll Love to answer back.
Thirdly, we should support those who supports us. For my last 12 years of coaching and training athletes for the regional meets in elementary, secondary and tertiary levels, they are always present and always ready to give a helping hand. Ask an athlete and teacher-coach/trainer about it and you’ll be surprised!
Fourth, our province received many glorious rewards for the past years. Again, you must ask the question why? The Madronas have been in office for more than 2 decades; we cannot diminish the fact that they were the ones who faced Romblon’s problems first! Yes progress may seems very slow but the very strong foundation was poured and solidified during those times. Now, we are simply harvesting: remember, we will sow what we reap.
Fifth. The Governor must not take all the praises because of the awards received. The governor implements what has been tackled in the Provincial Board council too. We must also thank those who have seen the problems, those who made solutions to the problems, those who made, requested, and approved the needed budgets. Thank you SPs of Romblon, the Vice-Governor, the Mayors, the Municipal Councilors, Brgy. Captains and kagawads and all NGAs and People working for the government and with the government like the PNP, DILG, DA, DENR, DOH, DSWD, NGOs, Cooperatives, etc…
Sixth. I think Sir Arming Gutierrez can explain it better than I can because I don’t know the whole story.
Lastly, he’s still down to earth and humble. He knows how to respect his opponents. That’s why our Family will be supporting Atty. Budoy all the way!
