Fabian made this appeal live on national television where he was invited to be one of the guests in the weekly national talk show titled ‘Congress in Action’ of the National Broadcasting Network (NBN-4) last Tuesday night.
The solon said that Zamboanga City is still the ideal and best location for a government center here in the region, considering its strategic location and viability in terms of economic stature and basic infrastructure needed by the government offices in performing their work.
“I have nothing against Pagadian for that matter, but I believe that our city is still the best location for the regional center,” Fabian stressed.
The official said that a lot of humanitarian and economic considerations should be looked into with regards to this issue, considering the displacement of the families of the affected government employees and their financial adjustments working in a distant place while residing here in the city.
It can be recalled that former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo directed all regional offices based here in Zamboanga City to transfer to Pagadian City following an executive order which was also complied by majority of the government regional offices based here in the city.
Similarly, Fabian also reiterated his position with regards to the revival on the issue of the Autonomous Region. The solon said that he is steadfast in his position and one with the Zamboangenos in opposing to be part of the ARMM.
He said that the government should look into the position of the local officials and the people who have spoken several times and made their stand openly against the regional autonomy being proposed by some sectors.
“The people have spoken, me and other local officials of the city have set aside our political affiliations and interests in fighting for our unwavering support to each and everyone here in saying NO to Autonomy,” Fabian said.
