Governor Fernando, who is now set to serve his third and final term, thanked the Bulakenyos for once again entrusting him with the highest leadership position in the province.
“Sa mga Bulakenyos, maraming maraming salamat po. Una ang Diyos, pangalawa ang mga tao. Salamat at naniwala kayo sa amin. Gusto naming dalawa na manalo ng nakataas ang ulo at hindi nakayuko ang ulo – dahil ang tagumpay na ito ay hindi lamang sa amin, kundi sa buong lalawigan ng Bulacan.

We’re very motivated na mas paunlarin ang Lalawigan ng Bulacan, matulungan ang mamamayang Bulakenyo sa kanilang mga hanapbuhay, sa edukasyon, kalusugan, at ‘yung patuloy na laban natin sa maayos na serbisyo sa tubig ay ipagpapatuloy namin ng ating mahal na gobernador,” he said.
