One can't help but be amazed by the energy of our Vice-Governor Mark Leviste. He is acting Governor while Gov. Vi, our star-for-all-seasons Governor is still in the US.
At the height of Typhoon Ondoy, we were cooling off at the Benilda Resort and Restaurant Friday night in Naujan and then moved to the Filipiniana Hotel in Calapan on Saturday nearer the Pier for the Sunday trip back to Batangas (when it was relatively safe to travel back).
Mark Leviste was on the Radio while we were on the road, moving about in Mindoro. He was giving periodic reports to GMA7 / DZBB. That's where we heard that Calaca suffered extensive damage, and Talisay had landslides. Metro Manila was inundated and in a state of calamity - but it was Vice Governor Mark Leviste of Batangas we were hearing on the radio.
We had an appointment to see him for the Job Fair he is planning for Batangas in coordination with the Job Finder Magazine and Buy and Sell, and whooo..at 8:00 am. he was on the radio saying that there's a traffic jam somewhere in SLEX ..... I had to re-confirm the appointment. True enough ... at 2:00 p.m. he's back at the Provincial Capitol of Batangas at work and ready to meet with us, after having attended a number of engagements from Sto.Tomas to Lipa...
Acting Gov. Mark Leviste is a marvel. He makes the effort to attend every event invitation or send one of his representatives if it becomes really impossible.
