After losing by 10 votes in 2019 polls
TABUK CITY, Kalinga -- Governor-elect
James Edubba was proclaimed by the provincial board of canvassers after beating
incumbent Gov. Ferdinand Tubban.
Edduba avenged his loss in the May 2019 elections when he lost by only 10 votes to Tubban.
"I feel vindicated this time. The real voice of the people really came out this time, that is why I will make sure that I will be able to reciprocate their trust with sincere and dedicated service to them during my term," Edubba said.
The governor-elect said quality health services will be one of his priorities so the practice in the Kalinga Provincial Hospital of requiring patients to buy their medicines in pharmacies will be scrapped.
He added the provincial government will work with government agencies to restore zero billing of patients confined in government health facilities.
Edubba vowed to work to restore the license of the provincial blood council for blood extraction and establish a blood bank to support operation of the dialysis center to ease burden of patients undergoing expensive treatment.
Edubba expressed his gratitude to the people of the province for bestowing their trust and confidence in him by electing him to the gubernatorial post and that such a gesture will surely be reciprocated with genuine public service.
When he lost to Tubban by 10 votes in the May 2019 midterm elections, Edubba filed a post-election protest with the Commission on elections for recount of votes in protested polling precincts.
However, Tubban filed a counter-protest that called for a recount of votes in many clustered polling precincts in the province which caused the said cases to drag on.
Edubba appealed to the people of Kalinga to support his administration so can deliver his campaign promises for welfare of the populace.
