MAYOR MA. LOURDES C. FERNANDO
STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS
6th Regular Session of the 5th City Council of Marikina
10 February 2010

I stand before you tonight to deliver my last State of the City Address as your incumbent City Mayor. I stand here brimming with confidence that we have accomplished what we have set out to do for our city.

Steadfastly and painstakingly, we have revitalized our city over the past nine years. Hindi lang natin naiayos ang ating kapaligiran – ang ating mga nagawa ay nakapagbigay rin ng dangal, karakter, at kumpyansa sa sarili. There is no better proof of our milestones in governance than the respect and admiration that our city enjoys both nationally and internationally. Taas-noo tayong tumutugon sa anumang pagkakataon dahil sa pagtitiwala at paggalang natin sa ating sarili.  Ngiti ng pag-asa ay pangkaraniwang nakikita sa mukha ng bawat isa.  In many instances, we have provided benchmarks, and we have set the tone that inspired countless Filipinos to believe that change is possible.
