We idolize people not only because of the spotlight directed at them but also because we see something in them which makes them incredibly different from others. Just learning about them leaves us with eye-dropping, neck-stretching and jaw-dropping expressions.
Jesse Robredo is a man who knows his priorities in life. For this very reason he set GOALS, goals that made the City of Naga one of the best cities in the country. His priorities are his family, the Nagueños and now, the people of the Philippines.
We found out that Robredo, despite his long term service in the government continues to remain conscientious -- unlike the usual politicians that we know. God and his family are the secrets for his firm values. The simplicity of his way of living also contributes to his success.
Who would ever thought that the Mayor of Naga City would ride a taxi to a meeting, help her daughter with her project rather than attend a special event that could help his publicity or even let his interviewer pay for their bill in a cheap restaurant? These are some of the surprising things he does, somewhat personal yet different and ideal for a politician.
