Lingyen Pangasinan—Governor Ramon V. Guico III celebrated his birthday on March 19, which is uniquely different from the traditional way of celebrating life in the past by bringing his love closer to his constituents through an outreach program.
As part of his birthday celebration, the governor was joined by the entire officialdom of Pangasinan and the Capitol workforce in touching lives and making a difference, specifically through a feeding program.
All departments and hospitals simultaneously held and brought their outreach mission for a cause from the Capitol down to their identified feeding beneficiaries, which can be a school, hospital, or community.
When asked for her reaction, a teacher said, “Walong taon na akong nagtuturo dito sa Macayug Elementary School dito sa San Jacinto, ngayon ko lang naranasan na nagpa-birthday ang isang governor.”
The outreach mission was a simple yet eloquent expression of love for more than three million Pangasinenses who received positive responses and admiration for the governor.
Gov. Guico proves that only a governor with a heart can serve beyond himself for the general well-being of his people.
The activity was undertaken based on the governor’s belief that the most meaningful way of celebrating his special day is by serving God and by serving the people with the utmost love and concern. (Chona C. Bugayong/PIMRO)
