One determining factor to achieve progress in a society is anchored on the leaders who now are task to mold our locality’s future. One of the primary delimma of our country is the chaotic political scenario which only did not bring solutions but more problems instead. Butuan is blessed to have some at the helm a true leader who truly cares for Butuan.. A visionary who, slowly but surely, brought progress and development to the city despite the threat of economic recession and the nuisance political bickering of some. We are blessed to have Mayor Democrito “boy daku” Plaza, the father of Butuan, who trough the years, keeps us at bay, stronger as a city and is beginning to rise as the new economic hub of the southern
Unlike other cities, it is only in Butuan where one can attest the very much alive governmental programs, surpassing the expectations of detractors. The farm to market roads established gave a metaphorical significance as it breaks opens the people to the road of progress. These linkages are very vital not only for the people form far flung barangays to reach the city but for the city government to reach its people and let them enjoy the right to access governemental service.
I still wonder why there are a lot of individuals who are trying to discredit what the mayor has done. In fact, he is the only mayor who puts every Tuesday as “people’s day” where every constituent is given an opportunity to talk to him in person. I still remember the long line of people at the city hall every Tuesday then. Though it is very tiring, he never gave up, sadly, because of his undying will to serve the people his health was compromised. Thanks to God that he is able to hurdle such test in life. Isn’t it the same sacrifice we have seen in our national heroes? How many more people who would rather pursue their political agenda which only show their selfish ways? In no way will I trade a single day of another person as a mayor for mayor “Boy Daku” has never traded the future of his people… that includes my future… to the politically corrupt individuals who occupy themselves with lies and deceit.
The key to bringing back our glorious past is now clear.
With our foundations now established, it is only but rightful to do our share as Butuanons and ignore the false allegations of the noisy minority. They simply envy our progress and sorry for them for they do not j\have a leader like our mayor who never let us down through the years.
Like the legendary “Balanghai’’ boat, Mayor Plaza, with his seven point agenda, has been our vessel to journey on beyond our current achievements and bring Butuan back to its glorious throne…
This simple reflection from a lowly Butuanon who has given faith to the legacy of service shown by our local executive is not tainted by any malice but shielded by the love for Butuan as what our city’s father has given amidst adversity…
After all, all great kingdoms are built by a Majestic King, a Loving father and a caring friend… all traits rolled as one. This simply exemplifies what we already have now,
Set aside pretenders, you can do nothing to stop us from progress.. It is in recalling our past that we can seize our destiny. Full steam ahead as we have the rightful leader to continue this smooth journey.
LAWIG BALANGHAI!
