BORONGAN, Eastern
Samar – Governor Ben P. Evardone showed his care upon the people who
are working with him by giving the provincial employees a special day
on the post celebration of Eastern Samar’s 41st Founding Anniversary
on November 10, this year at the Capitol, this town.
Hailed as the Capitol
Employees Day, this occasion is meant to give the employees a special
attention for the hard work they have displayed in order to give the
people of the province a better, if not, first-class service.
“I am personally
thanking the employees of the capitol because you are playing a great
role in providing services and implementing projects and programs to
our constituents,” Evardone said. “We could have not achieved much
especially on our battle against poverty had it not been for your
support and hard slog,” he continued.
The governor also said
that the graduation of the province from the “Club 20” or the poorest
of the poor provinces was achieved because the workforce of the
province moved. “If these people have done much for Eastern Samareños
benefits, isn’t it just but appropriate that we give them due
acknowledgement,” says Evardone.
Evardone extended also
his praises to the men and women working for the national agencies who
had been assisting him closely in his programs. Among those that he
mentioned are the provincial offices of the Department of Education,
Department of Health, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of
Agrarian Reform, Department of Agriculture, the Philippine National
Police, the Philippine Army, among others.
“These are the people
who have truly contributed much to the development of the province,”
he said. Evardone however challenged the provincial employees to work
harder. “Let’s not be contented with what we have professionally
earned but let’s strive more,” he urged.
The provincial chief
recently admitted that there’s still much to be done especially in
lifting the people in Eastern Samar from the quagmire of poverty and
in maintaining peace and order in the province.
In the visit of Sec.
Michael Defensor, keynote speaker during the anniversary ceremony, he
reassured the governor and the people that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
will continue to give full support to the programs and projects of the
province.
The province
celebrates it’s founding anniversary on every 9th of November.
