Brooke’s Point Mayor Maryjean Feliciano concedes in Palawan plebiscite, but notes lost opportunities

Brooke’s Point Mayor Maryjean Feliciano has acknowledged the results of the Palawan plebiscite, but it seems the lost opportunities are still not far from her mind.

In a Facebook post, Feliciano congratulated the proponents of the “no” vote for the division of Palawan into three provinces.

She said they were able to convince the people to reject the establishment of a capital that is closer to their residences, the creation of many job opportunities, and the opening of more businesses.

For the Brooke’s Point residents who voted yes, she offers thanks for their support and for explaining the benefit of the province’s division without saying anything bad about their opponents.

The people have spoken and she accepts their decision, she said.

“TInawag pero hindi pinili. Ibinigay subalit tinanggihan. Sa mga nagsulong at bomoto ng NO, congratulations sa inyo sapagkat nakumbinsi nyo ang ating mga kababayan na wag tanggapin ang pagiging kapitolyo na maglalapit ng serbisyo sa mga tao, magbibigay ng maraming job opportunities at magbubukas ng maraming negosyo. Sa mga nagsulong at bomoto ng Brooke’sPoint YesTayo maraming salamat po sa inyong suporta at pagpapaliwanag ng totoong kabutihan ng 3n1 ng hindi nagsasalita ng anuman laban sa hindi natin kapareho ng paniniwala. Salamat Bayan ng Bataraza sa inyong malaking suporta sa inyong mother municipality.

Nagsalita na ang mga tao at igalang po natin and desisyon ng nakararami.

GOD bless Brookes Point !” Feliciano posted.
