Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng aking mga kasimanwa na bumoto sa akin upang maging Representante ng Antique sa Kongreso.
Ang tagumpay na ito ay inaalay ko unang-una sa Poong Maykapal na nagbigay sa akin ng talino at lakas upang harapin ang hamon na ito; pangalawa, sa aking pamilya, lalo na ang aking mga ninuno na nagbigay ng inspirasyon sa akin na pagsilbihan ang aking mahal na probinsya; at higit sa lahat, ang aking mga kasimanwa na nagtitiwala sa akin.
Senator Loren Legarda has ended the 30-year rule of the Javier dynasty in her home province of Antique.
Legarda was proclaimed the new congresswoman of the lone district of Antique, sweeping all of the province’s 18 towns, with 199,187 votes against former Governor and Congressman Exequiel Javier’s 69,716 votes, one of the largest margins of victory in the 2019 elections.
If elected as Congresswoman of the lone district of Antique, Senator “Inday Loren” Legarda assured that her kasimanwas will continue to feel the improvement in their lives, as what is already happening in the province.
After increasing the chalk allowance of teachers in the past years, Senator Loren Legarda has now introduced a special allowance to public school teachers that they will receive under the 2019 national budget.
Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, initiated the allocation of additional P800 million under the Department of Education (DepEd) budget. The said allocation will be given to public school teachers, P1,000 per teacher, every World Teachers’ Day on October 5, as an incentive or honorarium.
Senator “Inday Loren” Legarda, who is running for Congresswoman of the lone district of Antique under the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), today reiterated her vow that she will do everything to end poverty in her home province.
“When the campaign started, I have declared my intention to beat poverty in Antique. After going around the province in the past 42 days, my resolve to do so only got stronger. As I visited our towns and barangays, I saw the hardship and needs of our people; I heard the pleas of my kasimanwas. We cannot let the poor remain poor. We cannot let our province suffer while our neighbors are soaring,” said Legarda.
