Gov. Espino Extols Hardworking Barangay Captains, Slams Premature Politicking
CAPITOL NEWS
Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. urged all officials of San Carlos City led by Mayor Julier C. Resuello and some 61 barangay chairmen who came to the Capitol for a study tour on July 30 to keep working harder to spur progress in their city and for the province even as he lamented that Pangasinan is already wrapped with premature politicking.
In a brief program at the Sison Auditorium in Lingayen, the governor said that he is receiving a barrage of calls and queries from the print and broadcast media on the reported declaration of support of 9 mayors to one gubernatorial hopeful.
“Today, it is only 13 months that we have been elected and there are still 21 months to go before the next elections, but we are now engulfed with politics rather than serving our constituents,” Governor Espino said.
He said that if he will answer all questions about politics everyday, he will get distracted from sustaining the rapid progress of Pangasinan. “Anggapo lay nagawa ed Pangasinan,” he said.
“There is a time for everything, a time to work and a time for politics,” the provincial chief executive stressed.

He assured the officials that he will definitely endorse and support a gubernatorial candidate in due time.
He revealed that he will announce whoever he will be endorsing whether it would be Liga ng Mga Barangay President and Board Member Amado “Pogi” Espino, III who is being pushed by many groups to be his successor to continue the legacy of the Espino Administration, or somebody else.
Moreover, the provincial chief executive said that the province’s progress and development will eventually be handed down to the future generation thus the next leader of the province must be a genuine resident of Pangasinan and should opt to retire in the said province.
He extolled the officials of San Carlos City and the barangay captains for focusing on their jobs and to avoid getting affected from early politicking.
Governor Espino recalled that he and Mayor Resuello both started at the same time as local chief executives on June 30, 2007. They worked closely together for San Carlos City and so the dialysis center was built within the Pangasinan Provincial Hospital in Bolingit, San Carlos City and was named after his father, the late Mayor Julian Resuello.
Gov. Espino also said that he was again at PPH the other day to ground break the construction of the new emergency room-operating room-intensive care unit building. /RRB
