IBA TALAGA kapag gusto at mahal mo ang ginagawa mo. Take the case of Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez na keri pagsabayin ang pagiging Punong Bayan ng lunsod and at the same time ay nag-aartista.
Kasi naman, ang super sipag ni Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez sa pagpo-promote ng pelikula nila ni Sharon Cuneta na “Three Words to Forever” na palabas na simula sa Wednesday, November 28.
Sa kabila ng kaabalahan ni Mayor Goma sa kanyang pinaglilingkuran na lunsod ng Ormoc ay nagagawa pa rin niya at hindi napapabayaan ang kanyang mga constituents habang nagpo-promote naman siya ng pelikula nila.
Last weekend, super promotion si Mayor Goma sa mga mall shows ng pelikula nila sa direksyon ni Cathy Garcia-Molina.
Pansin ko lang na tila absent si Sharon sa mga mall shows nila. Sina Kathryn Bernando, Tommy Esguerra at Joross Gamboa lang ang kasama ni Mayor Goma na nakikita sa mga social media postings ng Star Cinema sa dalawang malls yesterday na dinalaw ng cast (minus the Megastar) to promote the film.
At the media conference last week (Thursday, November 22), ikuwinento ni Mayor Goma sa amin na katatapos lang ng shooting nila. “Mabuti at pinayagan ng Star Cinema na doon (Ormoc) kami mag-shooting. If not, on weekends lang ako pwede mag-shoot. Pag ganun ang nangyari, hindi namin maihahabol sa eksaktong playdate ang movie,” sabi niya sa amin personally.
One reason kung bakit sa Ormoc ginawa ang shooting na isa sa mga requirements ni Mayor Goma sa Star Cinema bago niya tinanggap ang project dahil ayaw niya na mapabayaan ang kanyang responsibilidad at work at maging sa mga taga-Ormoc na pagkatapos ng trabaho niya sa City Hall on weekdays ay lagare naman siya sa pelikula na ginagawa niya na andun lang sa lungsod.
Last Thanksgiving Day ay may mensahe si Mayor Goma sa kanyang mga kinasakupan kanyang Facebook account.
Pagkasulat ni Mayor Goma: “To my beloved people of Ormoc City. I especially think of you as the whole world celebrates Thanksgiving Day and I thank you for the trust and confidence you have given me as your Mayor, the same trust and confidence that you have also generously given to Congresswoman Lucy for many years and counting.
“As promised, Congw. Lucy and I, together with every member of the ODT, strong and and able as they all are, remain focused and committed to the task of bringing Ormoc to a higher level. We work very hard to improve the lives of our people, beginning with making the city the safest in the country for 2 years in a row now. Because security is a basic need. Your government must make that a priority, your Mayor has made that a priority. Ormoc is the first City in the region to be declared Drug-free, it is now the Richest in Eastern Visayas, and we continue to reinforce those milestones via continued infrastructure developments and many other programs aimed to holistically make our corner of the world not just better, but the best that it can be.
“There are so many more things that need to be done, so much more to achieve and accomplish in building this city. I ask you to be active members of society and the community. Help in whatever way you can.
“Lately, the opposition has been trying to come up with fabricated and twisted stories to regain lost grounds in politics. Ang gaba dili mag Saba. Many are man’s wicked ways, but God sees the heart.
“Bahala ka na Lord sa mga taong pilit na nainira at nagsisinungaling. This battle is yours to fight, and win, in your mighty name.
“As for me and my team, we shall focus on the task at hand, as always giving our all in all. Public service is a privilege and an honor that I cherish and respect.”
Pagwawakas ng FB message ni Mayor Goma: “Happy Thanksgiving Day and God bless us all.”
