Fritzie: New post, same mission

LUBAO, Pampanga – Former Second District board member, Olga Frances “Fritzie” David-Dizon, who gave up politics to concentrate on her family, could not hide her sadness as the new members of the provincial board (PB) recently took their oath at the St. Augustine Parish Church here.

“Ate (sister) looks sad,” whispered Porac Vice Mayor Dexter David to his wife Mai Laus-David after seeing David-Dizon in the front row of Pampanga’s oldest church during the Holy Mass.

“Yes, I also noticed,” answered back Mai to her husband. The couple shared their observation of David-Dizon to Headline Gitnang Luzon on Thursday in a phone interview.

“I have some compliment despite the fact that I and others failed to convince my sister to run again. She (David-Dizon) has not left the governor,” said David. On July 1, Gov. Lilia Pineda announced that David-Dizon will be her chief-of-staff.

“New position but same mission to help and serve the people, notably the less fortunate ones,” added the vice mayor. He disclosed that their mother, the late Board Member Edna de Ausen-David, had asked him and his sister to continue the family’s dedication and love for public service.

“Our family’s public service remains uncut for about 33 years. It was started by our father,” said David, referring to the late former three-term Mayor Roy David who started his career as a Porac councilor in 1980.
“I have continued our family’s time in public service. It would have been far better if ‘ate’ (David-Dizon) also occupies an elective post. But I do respect her and her decision for sake of her two children,” said David.

‘SECOND’ MOTHER
Wearing a white dress with red belt during the mass in Lubao, David-Dizon shared the bench with Gov. Pineda and members of Pampanga’s first family.
In her public speeches, Pineda repeatedly called David-Dizon “anak” (my daughter), including at the coronation night of the recent Mutya Ning Kapampangan. The then board member was the chairperson of the annual beauty pageant described as “classy and elegant” by newspaper reports.
David-Dizon cried when she delivered her last speech as member of the PB at the Capitol in late June.
“Board Member Fritzie will not leave us. She will just be around. But she will be more tired and busy,” said then outgoing Vice Governor and now Rep. Joseller Guiao just before David-Dizon stood up to deliver her 10-minute speech.

David-Dizon cited Pineda and her husband and children for “treating me like a member of their family.”
David-Dizon said “I love the governor like my own mother.”

“I see in her (Pineda) my late mother. My mom, Edna, and Gov. Pineda are both sincere, dedicated and loving public servants. They work extremely hard and no one can question that,” said David-Dizon, who was frequently seen with the two-term governor since 2011.

David-Dizon disclosed that Edna tried to convince her to run in 2010 but her mother failed. Edna wanted to retire because she was afflicted with lung cancer.

Edna won re-election in May 2010 and she died months later. In March 2011, David-Dizon replaced her mother.
“I really did not want politics because I acted then as replacement for my parents during important family occasions and school graduations. I don’t want my two children to experience the same,” said David-Dizon, referring 12-year old Bench and Iya, 10, who are enrolled at the Ateneo de Manila University and Miriam College in Quezon City, respectively.

“I have to admit that I am now in love with politics and it was like that before. I am crazy over public service, so to speak, because of the opportunity of helping more people,” said David-Dizon. “My only saving grace is that I will have more time for my family.”

On June 28, or two days before she stepped down as board member, David-Dizon of Cangatba, Porac donated one set of brand-new personal computer unit to the Romana Pangan District Hospital in Floridablanca town.

“I like helping more now because I am not in an elective position. There will be no political color when I give humble help to those who are in need,” said David-Dizon, the only woman among the five children of Edna and Roy.

Second District Board Member Salvador “Jun” Dimson last week said “I have not yet really spoken to BM Fritzie .”

“What will I say to her? I really wanted her to run because she is a kind and dedicated official and she will be asset to the province. Fritzie may end crying again if I finally speak to her seriously. My fellow board members in our district and I would not mind if Fritzie will end up as top vote-getter during the recent elections,” said Dimson.

Newspaper reports said David-Dizon would have eas
ily won if she had decided to get a fresh term as board member.
A graduate of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy at the Centro Escolar University in Manila, David-Dizon is a businesswoman engaged in sugar production, real estate and banking
