“Laban para sa integridad at pananagutan ay walang pahinga” – Mayor

“Papalapit na ang Pasko, ramdam na ang saya at liwanag ng Kapaskuhan. Ngunit hindi ito dahilan para tumahimik ang ating mga boses. Habang papalapit ang Pasko, patuloy ring umiigting ang ating paninindigan laban sa korapsyon.”

Thus, declared Mayor Benjamin Magalong in a recent social media post. “Hindi dapat matabunan ng selebrasyon ang ating responsibilidad na magsalita at manindigan. Araw-araw, kailangang makita at marinig ang ating presensya—tapat sa katotohanan, matatag sa prinsipyo, at hindi nasisilaw ng panahon ng pagdiriwang,” he said.

The Mayor stressed: “Paparating ang Pasko, ngunit ang laban para sa integridad at pananagutan ay walang pahinga.”

Meanwhile, in another post, he stated that those who believe they are always right close themselves off from growth, truth and meaningful collaboration.

“True wisdom is shown not through stubborn certainty but through humility, the willingness to listen, to reflect and to learn from others,” the Mayor said.

“May we choose the path of wisdom by embracing counsel, valuing diverse perspectives and recognizing that genuine leadership is rooted in openness and humility,” he added. – Gaby B. Keith
