A day after the burial of her father, Fiscal Rene Garcia on Wednesday, Congresswoman Ann Matibag of San Pedro City and her staff members expressed their love to the people of Carmen Homes in Bgy. San Antonio and Sitio Kangkungan South Fairways Homes in Bgy. Landayan.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what my father really taught me since I was a young public servant\u2026 to be more accessible to the people as an elected government official, especially during times like this,\u201d Matibag said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMy father told me that at in any given situation, time or place, you have to serve your people 24\/7,\u201d she added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The solons group went to the Rosario Complex to provide 66 individuals from 16 displaced families at Sitio Kangkungan South Fairways Homes in Bgy. Landayan with food, water, coffee and cash assistance from their own pocket while they treated the children with Jollibee meals.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Attorney Melvin Matibag, the solon\u2019s husband, also went to Carmen Homes in Bgy. San Antonio to extend help to the typhoon and flood victims in the village.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The lawmaker\u2019s husband also gave cash assistance from their family\u2019s pocket.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Matibag, who was grieving after her father passed away, stayed hands on to her congressional duties as she even attended President Ferdinand \u201cBongbong\u201d Marcos Jr.\u2019s third State of the Nation\u2019s Address (SONA) last Monday at the House of the Representatives in Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI still have to attend the SONA despite our situation, but I know my father\u2019s presence is always there at my side to guide me to do the right things,\u201d said the solon, who wore the country\u2019s national flower Sampaguita-made dress designed by Filipino fashion designer Michael Leyva.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAmidst our family\u2019s grief, I whole-heartedly supported our beloved President Ferdinand \u201cBongbong Marcos \u201c Jt. on his third SONA. It\u2019s truly worth every second to hear about the administration\u2019s successes as it continuously achieves momentous triumphs for the Filipino people,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n She thanked President Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez for laying the country\u2019s great foundation for a brighter future.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cFrom economic reforms to the passage of laws, the administration has truly laid the foundation for a brighter future for our country. I will forever be grateful and proud to be part of the Philippines\u2019 19th Congress under the leadership and tutelage of President Bongbong Marcos,\u201d said Matibag.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DESPITE grieving over the loss of her fiscal-father, a female lawmaker from San Pedro City in the province of Laguna immediately attended to the needs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7399"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7399"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7402,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7399\/revisions\/7402"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/u6d6zbhm.png\")
