‘Future Mayor of Gutalac!’

I MET a fellow GUARDIAN in one of the shopping malls in Zamboanga City and he is none other than the good and hardworking Bro. Joel Tendero, the Vice Mayor of the Municipality of Gutalac in Zamboanga del Norte province. He is a man whom I highly respected because of his true and down-to-earth character, his honesty and style of leadership and his credibility and competence as a public servant.
