“Natapos ko na po ang unang termino ng tatlong taon ng aking administrasyon, ngayon ang pasimula ng panibagong taon ng aking paglilingkod na kung saan patuloy po kayong makakaasa sa may puso at tapat na pamamahala at serbisyong may malasakit sa kapwa,” she said.

She encouraged everyone to support her programs and agenda for a more progressive and more developed Tayabas and assured the Tayabenses that the city will be positioned to a better future under her term.

“Sapagkat tanging nasa inyong mga kamay nakasalalay ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan, ang inyong ipinagkaloob at muling ipagkakaloob na pakikiisa at pakikipagtulungan ang magiging susi upang makamit ang higit na pagunlad at tagumpay para sa minamahal nating lungsod,” she concluded.

To recall, Tayabas became a city through a plebiscite in 2007, but the cityhood was hotly contested by the League of Cities of the Philippines in a legal battle. The matter reached the Supreme Court where Tayabas and other 15 cities faced controversial court cases about its constitutionality. Voting 7-6, the SC reversed the decision against the new cities. It said the conversion of the 16 municipalities into cities met all legal requirements.
