Nanay Lita: True liberty is economic freedom, access to government service for all

GENERAL SANTOS CITY (June 12, 2025) - Vice Mayor Rosalita "Nanay Lita" Nuñez, in her capacity as the acting City Mayor, delivered the Independence Day message during the celebration of the 127th Independence Day of the Philippines. Nanay Lita emphasized the message of freedom, particularly true liberty from modern oppressors. "Freedom can only be achieved when the people are economically free and have equal access to government services." She closed her message by quoting Wendell Phillips, an American abolitionist who once said, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few.”

To the people of General Santos City:

Thank you to the 117,844 residents of this city who lent me their voices in the recently concluded election.

Despite my limited resources, I stood my ground and fought for our city, and you chose to believe in me. Your vote was a vote of love, trust, and confidence.

I may have lost in the count, but I knew in my heart that I would have won if it were an honest and clean election. Still, I believe I have won in life.

Anytime, anywhere, I can hold my head high because I finished the race with my honor, my dignity, my pride, and my self-respect intact. I knew I had shown the well-meaning people of our city that it always pays to do what is right and to do things rightly, because at the end of the day, goodness will prevail over evil.

We will continue the good fight, remain the vigilant soul and spirit of our city, and help build and secure Gensan's bright future—a future that belongs to everybody, not just a chosen few.

This election taught this old mother that General Santos City is still worth fighting for… Gensan is still worth dying for!

Thank you for allowing me to be of service!

To God be the glory!

I’ve done my part and cast my vote—an act of love and service for our beloved General Santos City.

To those who haven’t yet: please go out and vote. This election is crucial. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Let’s shape the future together—with faith, courage, and hope.

Stand! Speak! Vote!

Mother’s Day gift!

Salamat sa Mother’s Day gift ug sa pagsalig sa mga mananagat nato gikan sa atong Fishport Complex.

Puno ang akong kasing-kasing sa kalipay dili tungod sa inyong donasyon apan tungod sa sakripisyo na inyong gihimo para sa inyong Nanay Lita.

Kanunay ako ug ang Ginoo anaa sa inyong likod.

Daghang salamat!

A MOTHER’S APPEAL:

For the good people of General Santos City,

We are standing at the crossroads in our city’s history.

On May 12, 2025, we will vote for the future of GenSan — a future dictated by incompetence and corruption or a future for good governance. A choice between self-serving power and true public service

In my 30 years of public service, I have been able to turn dreams into reality — I built the foundation for a “Boom Town City,” realizing the promises for the poor, implementing major infrastructure projects with honesty and I left office not richer, but fulfilled.

The one thing that critics could throw at me is that I am a senior citizen — A badge I wear with honor.

Meanwhile, my opponent faces accusations of unexplained wealth, numerous cases with the Ombudsman, complaints before the Commission on Audit, overpriced projects, and abuses of power. These are things that will not be washed off by the theatrics of playing the victim and hiding from the media.

“The truth hurts as much as it liberates!”

GenSan deserves so much more and, at this crucial time in our City’s history, we need leaders who are ready to actualize GenSan’s potential —leaders who serve the people, not political allies and personal interests.

RCRI AIM Alliance and PDP Laban are partnering for:

Free, improved hospital care

Expanded scholarships for every deserving family

Agricultural aid and support for the fishing industry both for big industries and our local fishermen

Improved transportation and infrastructure

Jobs and investments for GenSan residents

Proper utilization of the City’s Intelligence Fund for Peace and Security

Sustainable economic programs that will provide opportunities for all

This election is not simply about candidates; it’s about us.

So I appeal to all the well-meaning residents of General Santos: Stand! Speak! Vote!

Let us shake the ground with the thunder of our footsteps, flood the election precincts with our courage, and remind corrupt officials that GenSan is not for sale!

Ang mga magnanakaw sa gobyerno ang dapat matakot sa atin!

We show up. We choose integrity. We vote for our future.

Sincerely,

Rosalita “Nanay Lita” Nuñez MNSA Ph.D
Public Servant
