On his second term, Bataoil expressed his gratitude to Lingayenses who trusted the services he had so far rendered for the municipality.
“I accept with humility the peoples’ decision. I am thankful for those who continue to trust the kind of service that I have so far rendered. I am challenged to further improve as much as I’m able to, as it is clear that we cannot please everybody,” said Bataoil.
