Mayoral candidate Nestor Archival’s "SUSTAINED" platform

PERSPECTIVE - Cherry Ballescas - The Freeman

Campaign is intensifying as the 2025 election is getting closer.

Will Filipino voters get wiser this time, elect into office genuine public servants, those with clear vision and proven performance for honest commitment and service?

Will Filipino voters finally elect those who will prioritize the voters, especially the millions of poor and needy?

This time, how many voters will realize that power is in their hands, that if only voters unite to elect genuine public servants, their lives (especially those of the last/least/and lost) will get much better than their present situation?

By now, every voter should be seriously looking at the lifestyle/ performance record and go beyond just the promises/funds of candidates.

For your discernment/decision about who to vote for in May, allow us to share with you about Sir Nestor Archival, present Councilor and candidate for Mayor of Cebu City.

His life marked by sariling sikap, committed/honest/transparent work and service, Sir Nestor Archival remains ever-grateful to his parents/schools/teachers/others, who raised/ nurtured him to be the best he could be, an engineer/businessman then city councilor to serve God, His people.
