Rizal 4th District Rep. Fidel Nograles on Friday vowed that he and his team will mount a “fearless campaign” despite attempts at intimidation by his opponents in the run-up to the local campaign for the midterm elections.
“Hindi po kami natatakot, at hindi kami magpapatinag sa kabila ng pangaabuso at pananakot. Ilalapit natin sa mga Montalbeño ang plataporma para sa tuloy-tuloy na malinis at maayos na pamamahala,” Nograles said.
Nograles vowed that he would continue to build on his past accomplishments as the first congressman of the newly-created district of Montalban.
The lawmaker had earlier lamented the closure of his district office last month, which he said deprives Montalbeños of crucial social services.
He said, however, that the district office’s closure had rallied the people against the use of intimidation and dirty tactics.
“Nabibigyan tayo ng lakas ng loob dahil umalma ang mga mahal nating kababayan at ipinahayag na hindi nila hahayaang manaig ang ganitong taktika. Tama nga naman, panahon na para iwanan ang maduming pulitika dahil napakaraming mas mahalagang isyu na kailangang tutukan,” said the lawmaker.
Nograles vowed that he would continue to build on his past accomplishments as the first congressman of the newly-created district of Montalban.
“We will continue to push for meaningful legislation and intervention that will help Montalbeños cope with various issues hounding us such as the high cost of food and other goods, jobs, education, and flooding,” he said.
“As ever, we will continue to engage the many active organizations and sectors in our community such as the youth, women, elderly, and persons with disability, the academe, to come up with solutions that target real needs,” Nograles also said.
