Administration to promote ‘Abanse Negrense’ platform
By Dominique Gabriel G. Bañaga
Eugenio Jose Lacson, who was formally sworn in as the 35th governor of Negros Occidental over the weekend, alongside Vice Governor Jeffrey Ferrer and the provincial board members, vowed to “continue the hard work” and “deepen the unity” as a means of attaining the vision his incoming administration has set.
“We can set aside differences and make sacrifices for the next generation,” he stated. “We are indeed a great province and people but we need to reach greater heights.”
“We hope to transform our economic gains and advancement to trickle down to every aspect of Filipino society,” the outgoing vice governor added.
Lacson said he had taken on the battle cry of “Abanse Negrense.”
“I call on our people to join me and our provincial officials as we pursue a vision, our shared vision and deserve our ideals for the common good,” he said. “We are connected as one family, one community, and one solid government.”
The newly-sworn in official said he plans to concentrate on the agriculture, education, health, tourism, and economic sectors.
“We want to continue to bring food to the table by making our farmers play a greater role in ensuring that goods will be quality and available, and the people will have the power to purchase them,” Lacson explained./DGB, WDJ
