CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - The provincial board race in the third district of Pampanga has touched gender issues after women predominantly held positions were being targeted by old time politicians.
Board Member Monina "Mons" Laus said she is confident that the electorates would still support her candidacy after she has performed well as provincial legislator.
Laus added that her accomplishments has inured to the benefit of her constituents particularly the women who enjoyed much of her programs and projects that promote gender equality and sensitivity.
She is confident that the electorates would give her another fresh mandate in order to continue promoting the welfare and interest of the Kapampangan and women in particular.
Meanwhile, Board Member Trina Dizon, also an incumbent lady legislator, in a casual conversation with media men uttered that, "Hindi naman basta papayag ang mga kababaihan na walang babae sa provincial board natin."
Laus and Dizon were sparring partners of Governor Lilia Pineda in the delivery of basic health services in various communities in the province.
They have been helping out Pineda in addressing the needs of the people through legislative measures that provide protection to women and children.
Recent survey showed that Laus and Dizon were on the lead leaving the third slot in the provincial board to three other contending candidates.
Another thing that interest the voters in the district is the campaign propaganda being employed by the candidates using cartoon hero characters involving Superman, Batman and Robin.
Laus and Dizon will be facing three termed Mexico Mayor Teddy Tumang (Superman), Engrs. Dinan Labung (Batman) and Rosve Henson (Robin).
"Kung sila sina Superman, Batman and Robin, ako naman si Wonder Woman at si Trina si Darna," Board Member Laus smiled and told Sun Star Pampanga.
