It is day two of the Liberal Leadership Training. Am still here at AIM Conference Center.
It has been quite sometime since I saw and heard Congressman Mandanas. This morning’s lecture gave me a chance to see and hear HIM. His lecture was on economic development and he focused on his Batangas experience.
Now that I am managing the Batangas Provincial bureaucracy, I have my own views on how our Province could achieve its hoped for development and, this surprised me quite a bit, my views differ with the Congressman.
His thesis on development being a matter of perception bothered me. Development should be felt by the people and not just left to some of the senses to be perceived. I have no way of knowing if he really meant it that way but that is not the way I would want to usher in development for the communities of Batangas.
