“Tatahak ba tayo sa direksiyong tinumbok ni Jesse? O magpapaligaw na lang tayo sa mga pulitikong maglilitanya sa inyo ng samu’t saring problema, pero wala namang inilalatag na solusyon?” This was the challenge posed by President Aquino to the Bicolanos during his visit in Naga City.

The President called on the Bicolandia community and its leaders to follow the footsteps of the late Secretary, an upright public servant who dedicated his life in serving his constituents.

In his speech, he also emphasized his administration’s priority projects in the Bicol region which includes rural electrification, infrastructure to boost the tourism and agricultural industries, health and transportation services. “Lahat po ng proyektong ito ay bunga ng pakikiambag ng mga Nagueño sa tuwid na daan; lahat po ng ito ay nagbukal sa suporta’t tiwala ninyo sa pamahalaan, kayo po ang gumawa nito,” the President said.
