00:00Nasa linya po ng ating telepono, Pamplona, Negros Oriental Mayor Janice Degamo.
00:04Nangunguna po siya sa Negros Oriental 3rd District Representative Candidate Race.
00:09Mayor Degamo, magandang umaga po sa inyo.
00:12Yes sir, good morning po and good morning po sa lahat na...
00:16Opo, nangunguna po kayo sa bilang ng mga boto sa inyong kalabang si Janice Tevez
00:21para sa pagkakinatawan ng 3rd District na dati pong hawak ng inyong asawa.
00:26Your reaction, please.
00:27No, no, it's not my husband. My husband was governor, hawak ng mga Tevez for the last 35 years.
00:35Alright, thank you. Thank you for that clarification.
00:38So, what was your question again sir?
00:42Pag naiproklama po kayo, what is the first order of business for you?
00:46The first thing I have in mind is to start planning on how to realize the PEP project that I have been talking about
00:58during my campaigns and rallies around the 3rd District, turning the District into a smart city.
01:08Yes, we put CCTV district-wide, the command center that will be under the command also of stakeholders in the community.
01:22Yung mga ganyan po. Meron siyang anonymous reporting system that goes with the command center.
01:30And there will be a reward system for the foreman and the responder who will respond in the event that there is a crime that would happen.
01:40Or the prevention of a crime because the responders arrived before the crime could happen.
01:48So, that is my PEP project.
01:50That is what I have been talking about when I roam around.
01:54And, kahit nga hindi pa ako nagiging kongresista, may mga ginagawa na kami ng mga bantas na pwede nating isupport doon sa ating idea of turning the district into a smart city.
02:11Mayor, matagal...
02:13Opo, tulad ng nabagitin nyo, matagal nahawak ng mga Teves ang posisyon that you're about to...
02:19that you appear to be on the way to win.
02:22Ano ho kaya ang magiging challenges na nakikita ninyo dyan sa bagay na yan?
02:29Lahat naman ang bago, there will be a lot of challenges to meet.
02:35Pero, when I was also a new V-Mayor, parang ganoon rin yung situation namin.
02:41We are outnumbered, but then eventually, basta ang kasama mo lang na nagtatrabaho,
02:48it's also looking forward towards the same goal, and that is restoring peace and order and bringing progress to the community.
02:57I think kaya kong makipagtrabaho kahit sa ninyo.
02:59The challenges there would be to meet them halfway, and yung adjustments na gagawin,
03:08because you will be meeting and working with new faces, new people.
03:16Would you consider this bittersweet, kasunod po ng pagkamatay ni Governor Bilamo?
03:21Of course, of course it is.
03:24I think even the victory is a shout-out to the entire province and the country
03:32that the people in the 3rd District do not approve violence,
03:39do not like killing,
03:43and is really looking forward to live in peace,
03:47a stable peace in the province and in the district.
03:51Opo, and panigurado, yung mga constituents po ninyo dyan are looking forward
03:57for the promise of change that you bring, Mayor Digao.
04:01Maraming salamat po sa inyo. Thank you for joining us this morning.
