"Good Governance is not only about [fighting] corruption,” Mayor Magalong eloquently articulated. “It’s about empowerment, inclusivity, efficiency, effectiveness, participative governance, leadership. It’s a politics of hope, not a politics of frustration; Not a politics of hate; but a politics of good will and mutual understanding; not a politics of criticism, but a politics of encouragement; Not a politics of lies, but a politics of truth.”
