DASMARIÑAS CITY, Cavite – Former Dasmariñas City Vice Mayor Rex Mangubat has responded to criticisms questioning his decision to seek a congressional seat in the upcoming special election, saying that his gratitude to the late Congressman Elpidio “Pidi” Barzaga Jr. remains sincere and will never be forgotten.
He, however, stressed that gratitude should not be used to silence a person’s desire to offer the people an alternative or to suggest that Dasmariñas belongs to only one individual, name, or family.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa pagkakataong makapaglingkod kasama si Cong. Pidi. Siya ang nagbukas ng pinto para mabigyan ako ng pagkakataong matuto, maglingkod, at makatulong sa Dasmariñas,” Mangubat said.
