Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando threw a generous birthday bash, treating 11,600 Bulakenyos from various towns and cities in the province to free meals at selected Jollibee, McDonald’s, Chowking, Greenwich, and Shakey’s establishments.
The first 200 customers per store were served chicken with spaghetti and soft drink meal at 30 Jollibee and 22 McDonald’s stores province-wide excluding those within malls and along NLEX; Shakey’s branches in Brgy. Tikay, City of Malolos, Calumpit, and Pulilan; Greenwich at Malolos branch; and Chowking in Plaridel and City of Malolos.
In addition, approximately 3,000 employees of the Provincial Government of Bulacan were treated to a feast by Fernando that took place at the Isidoro Torres Hall and the hallway connecting the Session Hall and Board Member Casey Estrella Howard’s Office at the Capitol Building.
The governor expressed his gratitude to the Lord, his family, fellow public servants, and all those who have supported him throughout his public service career. He also expressed gratitude for the unwavering support he has received along the way.
“Sobra po ang mga naging pagsubok ko, and thanks, God, thanks, Mama Mary and the apostles, ginagabayan tayo, ang ating mga panalangin pinapakinggan Niya.”
“Pasasalamat ko ito sa ating Panginoong Diyos at sa inyong lahat. Sa loob ng mahabang panahon nang simulang ako’y maglingkod, simula noong ako’y SK hanggang maging governor, nandiyan pa rin ang mga pagsubok. Sobra po ang mga naging pagsubok ko, and thanks, God, thanks, Mama Mary and the apostles, ginagabayan tayo, ang ating mga panalangin pinapakinggan Niya,” Fernando said.
He also wished for a united province.
“Wish ko din na wala ng labanan, na magkaroon tayo ng One Bulacan.”
“Napakasaya ko po dahil nandito lahat ng lingkod bayan. ‘Yun pong winish ko ay para sa inyong lahat, na matupad natin ang lahat ng ating proyekto para sa inyong nasasakupan. Wish ko din na wala ng labanan, na magkaroon tayo ng One Bulacan,” Fernando concluded.
