INCOMING Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson is urging Negrenses to move forward and start to work as one Negrense family.

"May God send us his healing from divisiveness and may God continue to bless our beloved province," Lacson said.

Lacson also thanked the people of Negros Occidental for the overwhelming show of support.

"I am truly humbled by your trust and confidence. My words are not enough to express my gratefulness to everyone who supported me and my partner, Jeffrey Ferrer," he added.

Lacson also assured the Negrenses that he will repay the support with sincere service in bringing development and change in the lives of fellow Negrosanons.

"This moment reminds me how sacred is this support and the challenges attached into it. I acknowledged the burden of carrying these on our shoulders, yet, we assure our people that with the guidance of Almighty God and the cooperation from our people, we can realize our dreams of continued progress and development for our beloved province," Lacson added.

He also extended his congratulations to the elected congressmen, mayors, vice mayors and councilors.

"Congratulations for making it to the finish line," Lacson said.
