Happy Dulag Day, my beloved Dulag. 💗

There are places we live in, and there are places that become a part of who we are. Dulag will always be that place for me.

For nine years, I was given the extraordinary privilege of serving our town as Mayor. Those years were never simply a chapter in my life. They were years filled with people, stories, struggles, victories, difficult decisions, and countless moments that I will carry with me forever.

Through all those years, I tried to hold on to one simple belief: that public service is never about the person holding the position—it is about the people we are entrusted to serve. Everything we worked for was, and will always be, para ha Dulag, para ha Dulagnon.

On this , Watching this video brings back so many memories. I remember not only what we were able to accomplish together, but the people behind every accomplishment—the conversations in the barangays, the smiles, the laughter, the difficult days, and the many times I witnessed the strength and generosity of our people.

I may no longer be your Mayor, but my love for Dulag did not end when my term ended. Positions are temporary, but love for one’s hometown does not come with a term limit.

Dulag gave me the opportunity to serve, but in so many ways, Dulag also shaped the person I have become. For that, I will always be grateful.

Today, on Dulag Day, I simply want to say thank you.

Thank you for the trust.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for allowing me to serve the town and the people I love.

Whatever role I may have today, and wherever the years may take me, a part of my heart will always belong here.

Dulag will always be home.
Dulagnons will always be worth serving.
And it will always be an honor to serve you.

Malipayon nga Dulag Day ha aton ngatanan! 💗

Padayon kita. Padayon an Dulag.
Para ha Dulag. Para ha Dulagnon. Always. !

Today, I had the honor of representing Governor Carlos Jericho “Icot” Petilla during the Ceremonial Signing of the Memorandum of Agreement on Anti-Illegal Recruitment and Trafficking in Persons (AIRTIP) led by the Department of Migrant Workers Region VIII.

As I listened to the stories and realities faced by our OFWs, one thing became painfully clear:

Behind every remittance is a sacrifice.

Behind every newly built home is a parent who missed birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and even ordinary dinners with family.

Behind every “padara la anay” is exhaustion, loneliness, and silent tears hidden behind strong smiles.

Many of our OFWs leave not because they want to leave home…
but because they love their families too much to let them continue suffering.

And perhaps that is why illegal recruitment and trafficking are among the cruelest forms of exploitation.

Because they prey on hope.

They victimize people whose only dream was to give their children a better future.

As government officials, we cannot merely applaud our OFWs during fiestas, airport homecomings, or Christmas reunions.

We must protect them even before they leave.

Today’s signing was more than a ceremony.
It was a promise.

A promise that the Provincial Government of Leyte will continue to stand beside every Leyteño worker chasing hope far away from home.

To all our OFWs across the world:

Thank you for every sacrifice the world does not see.
Thank you for enduring loneliness so your families can dream bigger.
Thank you for carrying the weight of entire households on your shoulders.

Leyte is proud of you.
And no distance will ever change that.

Damo nga salamat ha aton mga modern-day heroes. ❤️🇵🇭

“Because democracy does not survive on elections alone.
It survives because somewhere, someone is still willing to say —
No, the Constitution matters.
No, due process matters.
No, truth still matters.”

An honor to deliver the Closing Remarks during the IBP Leyte Chapter Eastern Visayas Regional Convention on behalf of Governor Carlos Jericho “Icot” Petilla.

In a time when institutions are being questioned, when social media noise often becomes louder than facts, and when truth itself is being tested, the legal profession carries an even greater responsibility.

Tonight was more than a gathering of lawyers.

It was a reminder that when democracy begins to shake, lawyers become the last line of defense of the Constitution.

And perhaps the most important question we must ask ourselves is this:

“When truth was struggling to survive… did you stand up — or did you remain silent?”

Thank you to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, the Judiciary, fellow lawyers, and all defenders of the rule of law who continue to prove that integrity still matters in public service.

⚖️ Positions are temporary.
⚖️ Power is temporary.
⚖️ Politics is temporary.
But integrity outlives us all.

A healthier Leyte begins with leaders who choose to invest not only in infrastructure, but in people. ❤️🩷

Today, I had the privilege of attending the Leyte Province-Wide Health Summit at Summit Hotel, Tacloban City, where health leaders, frontliners, and stakeholders gathered to strengthen our commitment to Universal Health Care for every Leyteño. 🩺🇵🇭

One of the highlights of the summit was the continued push of Governor Carlos Jericho “Icot” Petilla through the QMER — a program that emphasizes quality monitoring, evaluation, and responsive healthcare system across the province. Through this initiative, we are reminded that good governance is measured not only by projects completed, but by lives protected and communities cared for.

Under Gov. Icot’s leadership, Leyte continues to move toward a more organized, data-driven, and people-centered healthcare system. Diri la ini programa — ini usa nga saad nga waray Leyteño nga mababayaan kon parte na han ira panglawas. 🙏

Dako nga pasalamat liwat ha aton doctors, nurses, barangay health workers, responders, ngan health partners nga adlaw-adlaw nag-aalagad bisan makuri an trabaho. Kamo an kusog ngan kasingkasing han aton healthcare system. ❤️

An malusog nga Leyte, amo an pundasyon han mas marig-on nga kabubuwason.

Padayon kita ha pagserbisyo para ha kada Leyteño. 💪
