Interview with Provincial Board Member CARLOS A. EGAY, JR.

December 2, 2007




GOL: How does it feel to be elected as Provincial Board Member of Surigao del Norte?
Board Member Egay:
First, I am happy for being elected and getting the number 1 spot in the second district.A neophyte at that! Second, i feel honored to be working with the veteran legislators of the city council who are now elected new members of the provincial board.
GOL: What were your secrets why you won as number one Provincial Board member in District 2?
Board Member Egay:
No secrets at all...maybe it was because of hard work, a lot of hard work and having good team who helped work out my campaign strategy. And of course, it's all because of my father's legacy in the province when he served as Provincial Administrator of Gov. Matugas.
GOL: How is your experience so far during your first few months working in the Capitol?
Board Member Egay:
Too many to mention, but the best experience so far is when I was elected as acting presiding officer during our opening session for this year where we were able to pass the annual budget of the province.
GOL: What laws, ordinances or board resolutions are you pushing and why?
Board Member Egay:
I helped prepare and sponsored the passage of Revised Real Property Tax Ordinance and the Environmental Regulatory Ordinance of 2007.Both are aimed at generating additional income for the province. We are looking for ways where our income will be sustainable and not too dependent on internal revenue allotment from the national government.
GOL: What projects you have now in the province that will or may affect Gigaquit?
Board Member Egay:
I lobbied and voted for the passage of a resolution approving that memoramdum of agreement whereby several barangays of Gigaquit namely: Poniente, San Antonio and San Isidro are among the recipients of certain projects.
GOL: Any other matters that you would like to convey to all Gigaquitnons?
Board Member Egay:
Thank you so much for all your support and may we all be one in our efforts in building a prosperous and better Gigaquit.
GOL: Thank you very much and good luck.

Board Member Egay:
Welcome and God Bless to all Gigaquitnons!
