At this morning’s flag raising ceremony, Bacoor City Mayor Lani Mercado Revilla expressed her gratitude to the City Government of Bacoor. Referring to the Most Outstanding Mayor Award she received from Superbrands Marketing International, she said, “Hindi lang akin ‘to. Atin ‘to! May award para sa Most Outstanding Mayor; pero ang dapat na nakalagay dito, Most Outstanding Local Government Team. Dahil hindi ko naman mapananagumpayan ito kung hindi dahil nasa likod at harap, kaliwa at kanan, itaas at ibaba ko ang Most Outstanding Local Government Team in the world. Maraming-maraming salamat sa inyong lahat.”

“Ang award na ito ngayon mula sa Superbrands Marketing International ang magsisilbing patuloy na inspirasyon hindi lang para sa akin kungdi para sa bawa’t isa sa atin para pag-ibayuhin ang ating performance for 2018 and beyond. Malinaw na siyempre dahil may road map na tayong sinusundan sa ating pagtahak ng landas tungo sa katuparan ng lahat ng ating pinapangarap para sa ating pinakamamahal na lungsod. Ang ating pangarap ay nakapaloob sa bawat titik ng pangalan ng ating siyudad. Bacoor. B.A.C.O.O.R.”

“Ang unang titik ay B. Ang ibig sabihin ng B ay Build More. This refers to more infrastructure projects to more adequately respond to the needs of our rapidly growing city – school buildings, health centers, day care facilities, multi-purpose halls, roads, relocation sites, and more.”

“Ang pangalawang titik ay A, na ang ibig sabihin ay Aid More. We shall intensify the provision of aid and assistance to marginalized sectors, which include women, youth, the urban poor, persons with disability, senior citizens, and more.”

“Ang pangatlong titik ay C. Collect More. While we shall not raise taxes, we shall further enhance and improve our revenue collection system to increase our fiscal capacity to execute the ambitious plans we have for our people.”

“Ang pang-apat na titik ay O; Open More. We need to open more opportunities and facilities with which to calibrate our response to the unprecedented growth that our city continues to achieve.”

“Ang panglimaang titik ay O, na ang kahulugan ay Obtain More. To augment and increase our capacity to better respond to the needs of our people, we should acquire more, better and modern facilities, systems, equipment, devices and mechanisms.”

“Ang huling titik ay R. At ito ang ipinagdiriwang natin today. Ang ibig sabihin ng R ay Rate More. We continue to receive awards and recognition. But more than gaining the awards and applause of different award-giving bodies for excellence in the different aspects of local governance, we shall work hard to continue rating high in the appreciation index recorded in the hearts of our people.”
