PAUL R. DAZA
Representative (1st District, Northern Samar)
Dear friends and development partners,
Thank you once again for the trust you have given me.
As your representative in Congress, I am forever humbled
and, at the same time, inspired, to have been given this
mandate to serve you.
This Report summarizes what I had already accomplished in the past twenty two (22) months—all of which will not have been possible without your strong support.
Through our vision of a progressive province anchored on unity, equity, and sustainability, I am optimistic that we will all rise. I continue to ask for your active participation, support, and prayers as I keep on working for the fulfilment of our dreams as sons and daughters of Northern Samar.
