Naglabas rin si Climaco na kanyang “birthday reflection” at, Sara Duy pinasalamatan ang kanyang ina at ama na si dating Zamboanga City Vice Mayor Jose Climaco, at mga mahal sa buhay.
Ito ang buod ng kanyang isinulat bilang balik-tanaw
sa nakaraan: “As a little girl, I was
shy, afraid to speak out and was fearful of school and the future. In fact I go
home straight after class unless we had to be the monitor or do gardening. I
chose this photo to celebrate my ‘HerStory’ to thank God for the unexpected
road my life has taken me.
I
was a late bloomer. My Dad would take me out in his visits to barangays and he
had deep respect for the Muslim and the indigenous people. He was the only
aspirant for Mayor who spoke about the need for Madrasa. And my Abuelita had a
dear friend, Ñora Asa, from Rio Hondo. Part of the IP community. In posture, I
was my Mother's opposite. She was elegant, beautiful and was confident and had
a straight posture. I, on the other hand, slouch even today because I lack
self-confidence. I prefer to dress down and be comfortable in jeans.
At
55, I am beyond grateful to God for taking me into an unimagined road of public
service. All I can say is God has called me and my life is in His hands. As I
wind-up 8 years and three months with 9 months more as Mayor, I continue to
live each day counting my blessings and aspiring to do good every day. Being in
government service since 1998, I am thankful to everyone who became part of my
journey. To God be the highest glory. To my Ninang Caling, who asked me if I
could help Zamboanga City and my Dad, whose inspiration in public service
taught me to be honest and a fiscalizer. My family for the values of community
service. My students and friends and the BC Team, you are God’s blessings with
the people of Zamboanga. I cherish the flowers given by the Teachers of
Tugbungan Elementary School under Dr. Abaa. They represent my vocation as a
Teacher. I am one with all the Teachers in our mission to impart learning. The
outpouring opportunity to speak of faith, hope and love for God and family are
treasured opportunities to share our blessings in this Pandemic.
I
wish to speak to all the girls: We may have a little voice, and little strength
but that’s okay. To Tatiana, Kristen, Nikki and Nike, our granddaughters, you
live in a digital age, make your voices heard because you matter as much as
Tonito, Tres, Quatro, and Niko. Just embrace the future despite of the unknown
path and God will make you bloom
where
you are planted! Today’s Gospel Luke 6:12-19 we are called and chosen by Jesus!
Let our life be an offering to Mary our Mother whose Birthday is September 8.
Together we say FIAT! YES to God's will! #Gr8ful2GOD4ever.” (Zamboanga Post)
