Editoryal

Just recently Butuanons were able towitness the first report of Mayor JunAmante to the SangguniangPanlungsod and the people of Butuanwhich is commonly called SOCA (state-of-the-city address). To others, it may notbe the most exceptional performancefor a first-term local executive on his firstyear of office. Indeed it was not. Thereason is very simple. Most people aremore attuned to �visual�

accomplishments. Infrastructureprojects here, there and everywhere, asthe saying goes. If one would want tobe popular and set his sights on the nextelectoral contest the moment he sits inoffice, that�s the most appropriate thing

to do. But Mayor Jun took the road lesstravelled. And that should be anexceptional accomplishment. The

people of Butuan understood this, andonly a few refuse to accept this. The most difficult part in life�s journey

is getting on our feet after we havesuccumbed to failure. Be it financially,psychologically and emotionally. Andbureaucratic management is noexception. Assuming a governmentcoffer with a deficit of P23 million is nojoke, let alone an unprecedentedindebtedness from the different financialinstitutions. Moreover, a governmentfaced with alleged questionabletransactions in the past. But dwelling somuch on these things would hinder usfrom moving forward. Let the justicesystem take its course while we craft theroad to where our dreams for Butuanshould go. We already have some gainsas a result of our patience dedication. Let

us not do the mistake of the past againif we want to move on. I would rather summarize the report ofMayor Jun as a calling for everyone to bea hero. To some people this might be themost abused word. But whether we acceptit or not, this is what we need from eachone of us. A quote from a very beautifuldefinition of a hero goes, �heroes arebrave, compassionate, committed tochange, and prove that a good deed canhelp uplift a million lives. Through theirwords, actions, and good deeds heroesmake a difference worth celebrating.� Atrue Butuanon is capable if being a herowith this definition. Mayor Jun is not theCity of Butuan nor does he own the Cityof Butuan. We are all part of the City ofButuan and it is our responsibility to takepart in building a stronger and progressiveButuan by being a hero in our own right.Everyone should make an impact. Thereis much to be done and we have juststarted. Let us not allow our gains to justslip away. Only crabs would wail in the airand speak of the untruth just because theyare told to do so. We do not glorify thiskind of mindset, it does help us anyway.Along the way, we will meet this kind ofpeople. Let them wail to their heart�scontent. For as long as we do our part andcontribute to the progress of Butuan, wewill succeed. We just need to be patientand vigilant. We all have big dreams andaspirations for a better Butuan so let usleave our constructive footprint that willchange the life of every Butuanon, forever.Ato ini, tabangan ta!
