“Hindi pa tapos ang laban!” This was stressed by Korina Sanchez-Roxas, as she read the message of former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, during the 77th Charter Day celebration of Bacolod City at the SMX Convention Center, yesterday. In his message to the Bacolodnons, Roxas encouraged the people of Bacolod and Negrenses to continue the “Daang Matuwid” of the present administration under President Benigno S. Aquino III and in the coming years under a new leadership. Roxas pointed out the Aquino government’s “Daang Matuwid” has granted programs to the Bacolodnons and Negrenses, citing the 11,000 beneficiaries of 4Ps (conditional cash transfer program) and more than 1.2 million PhilHealth beneficiaries. Roxas claimed the programs help the less fortunate fight for their chances to reach their dreams in life. Roxas also cited Bacolod as one of the top 100 Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) destinations in the world. “This industry will further prosper in the years to come under the same slogan,” Roxas said. Roxas added the present administration also granted the unity of two Negros provinces now proclaimed as Negros Island Region (NIR). “The Negrenses will continue to progress as they welcome a new beginning,” he assured. Meanwhile, Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella expressed his gratitude to all the people behind this year’s successful MassKara Festival. “To God be the glory!” Puentevella exclaimed. Puentevella claimed that the city of Bacolod will not just be a booming city but will exceed the expectations of the people should his political party win the election next year. He assured the people of more projects and programs that will benefit the Bacolodnons. Joining the celebration were Councilors Archie Baribar, Roberto “Bobby” Rojas, Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, Claudio Jesus Raymundo “Kalaw” Puentevella, Em Ang, Ana Marie Palermo, Sonya Verdeflor, Caesar Distrito, El Cid Familiaran, Wilson “Jun” Gamboa Jr., Alex Paglumotan, and Noli Villarosa./WDJ By Glazyl Jane Marie Y.
