NUEVA VIZCAYA, Philippines — Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Atty. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton on Monday renewed his support for the administration of Gov. Atty. Jose V. Gambito, saying his presence at the provincial government’s flag-raising ceremony signaled concrete backing for the governor’s leadership.

“My presence in today’s flag-raising ceremony of the provincial government is an indication of my concrete support to the provincial government headed by Gov. Gambito,” Cayton said at the ceremony attended by provincial officials.

Cayton said he has been closely monitoring the provincial government’s programs and activities and has sought to align his own initiatives with those efforts. He added that in his first nine months as congressman he has filed 43 House bills and resolutions intended to address the needs of Nueva Vizcaya residents and respond to contemporary challenges.

Gambito thanked Cayton for his renewed support and framed the gesture as part of a broader unity among the province’s leaders. “Although we belonged to different political parties in the last election, we have come together as one for the sake of the people of Nueva Vizcaya,” the governor said.

“Our priority is the welfare of our constituents, not partisan politics.”

An advocate of unity since his return to the provincial government, Gambito said Nueva Vizcaya residents can expect sustained efforts to improve livelihoods and boost economic opportunities through continued solidarity among provincial officials.
