An Open Letter to Congressman Jose Manuel F. Lagdameo from the Samalenyos
Honorable Congressman JM Lagdameo,
We write to you today not only as your constituents but as the people who entrusted you with the mandate to represent our voices in the halls of Congress.
We are well aware of your standing in the current administration. We recognize the vital role your family plays in the national landscape—specifically your brother’s position as the "alter ego" of the President. However, as the Representative of the 2nd District of Davao del Norte, your primary duty is to serve as the echo of our sentiments and the protector of our collective will.
The numbers speak a truth that cannot be ignored:
-In the 2022 elections, 95% of Samal Island cast their votes for Vice President Sara Duterte.
-Current sentiments across Mindanao reflect a staggering 97% support rating for the Vice President.
These are not just statistics; they are the heartbeats of the people who stood under the sun to put you and this administration in office.
We, the Samalenyos and the residents of the 2nd District, humbly yet firmly request that you keep your ear to the ground. If the Articles of Impeachment reach the plenary, we ask you to vote an emphatic NO.
We voted for you to be our voice, not a silent witness to the removal of the leader we overwhelmingly chose.
Congressman JM, we pray that when the time comes to stand up and be counted, you will stand with the 2nd District. Please honor the trust of your fellow Davaoeños.
Respectfully,
The Registered Voters and Constituents of Samal and the 2nd District of Davao del Norte
