GMA, Cavite - General Mariano Alvarez Mayor Walter D. Echevarria Jr. informed on social media, his official resignation as mayor on Tuesday, August 3.

According to his statement, the decision was made because of his health condition.



“Buhat ng pagbabago sa aking kalusugan, ako po ay lubos na nagpapakumbabang iwan ang aking pwesto upang kayo po ay mapaglingkuran ng mas tapat at nararapat. Maging ako po ay nalulungkot sa aking naging desisyon subalit mas kailangan natin ng isang lider na may kakayahang pamunuan ang bayan sa gitna ng pandemya,” he said.

After that, he urged the people of GMa to continue to support their local government especially its future programs.



“Nawa ay patuloy po ninyong suportahan ang mga proyekto at programa ng lokal na pamahalaan para sa ikauunlad ng bawat indibidwal sa ating bayan. Ako’y lubos na naniniwala na ang susunod sa aking naumpisahan at magpapatuloy ng aking misyon ay ang karapat-dapat para sa bayan,” Echevarria said.

“Kagaya ng isang Agila, lumipad kayo ng matayog at abutin ang inyong mga pangarap, magkaroon ng matalas na pagtingin sa kasalukuyan maging sa hinaharap, at huwag matakot na harapin ang anumang hamon ng buhay.”
