For the first time ever, siblings Mayor Arlene and Vice Mayor Arnold will be working together in leading their home, the City of Santa Rosa.
"Kung ano man ang personal relationship namin ni Vice Mayor Arnold, hindi namin ito dadalhin sa pagtapak namin sa trabaho." Mayor Arlene said.
Having siblings in the top positions of the city does not mean transparency and accountability will be compromised, Mayor Arlene stressed. She said there is an advantage as both she and Vice Mayor Arnold share the same heart and passion for serving the people.
Mayor Arlene pledged the continuity of the programs, projects, and services of the city under the Four Pillars of Development, her administration's program of governance, stressing that reason why the city is progressive is due to the continuance of the city's program. Mayor Arlene believes that in continuity there is progress, and in unity there is strength.
