Hagedorn vows to push for term extension

ANGELES CITY — Former Puerto Princesa City Mayor Edward Hagedorn said he would push for the extension of national and local officials’ terms of office if gets elected Senator.

During a meeting with various groups in this city, Hagedorn said the three-year term limit of an elected official is short to implement programs properly and completely.

“Six months before elections, kailangan ng i-stop ang implementation ng mga projects. After elections, saka na lalabas ang mga demanda against the elected official. Wala ng maiiwang panahon para gawin ‘yong mga proyekto niya,” Hagedorn said during a press briefing at Garden Dine Restaurant in Balibago this city over the weekend.

Hagedorn said that several provisions in the local government code need to be amended including officials’ terms of office.

He said an elected official should have at least four or five years per term.

“Napakahirap lalo na para sa isang bagong halal na official ang gawin ang mga programa niya kung meron lang siyang tatlong taon,” he said.

Hagedorn said there should be no more term limits for national and local officials.

With this, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) will exercise a control mechanism.

“Kung mawawala na ang term limit, dapat palakasin lang ang control mechanism ng DILG. Kapag may nang-abuso, parusahan,” Hagedorn said.

Hagedorn also said that he will not allow appointed officials to seek elective position as long as their appointing power is in effect.

“Hindi dapat tatakbo [ang isang appointed official by the present president] to a political position para hindi puro suporta ang matatanggap ng pangulo, para may check and balance,” Hagedorn said.

Hagedorn was the mayor Puerto Princesa City when the Palawan Underground River was named as one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.”

Puerto Princesa was also named cleanest and greenest city in the Philippines.

He also cited his other programs on tourism, poverty, environment, and employment.

Mayors Edgardo Pamintuan of Angeles City, Ed Guerrero of Floridablanca, Arturo Naguit of Minalin, Lito Naguit of Santo Tomas, and Peter Flores of Masantol also vowed support to Hagedorn’s senatorial bid.

“Suportahan po natin si Mayor Hagedorn para magkakaroon ng boses ang mga mayors ng buong bansa sa Senado,” Pamintuan said.
