FL ANNE GORDON, Family Inspires Her

Olongapo City First Lady and Zambales Vice Gov. Anne Marie Gordon takes time to introduce and disclose things about herself to Olongapeños before enumerating her programs and projects for the 1st District of Zambales.

‘’Ako po si Anne Gordon, nakapagtapos ng Nursing sa St. Joseph’s College at kumuha ng Master’s Degree in Business Administration sa De La Salle University. Ako po ay maybahay ni Mayor Bong Gordon at ina ng nag-iisa naming anak na si Jane,’’ FL Anne Gordon said at the “Binggo Bonggah-Anne, Panalo Ka Bayan!” courtesy of Kalinga Community for Children on April 14, 2010 at Brgy. East Bajac-Bajac.

FL Anne Gordon, who is running for Congress in the 1st District of Zambales, also imparted that her inspiration in whatever she does is her family. “Nagsilbing malaking inspirasyon sa akin ang mga halimbawa ng aking mga magulang na parehong naging lingkod bayan. Ang aking ama ay nagsilbi bilang sundalo samantalang ang aking ina naman ay isang public school teacher.”

‘’Dahil na rin sa inspirasyon ng aking ina na isang guro, lubos akong naniniwala na ang edukasyon ay susi sa magandang kinabukasan kaya’t patuloy ang aking pag-suporta sa mga mahihirap nating kabataan sa pamamagitan ng Scholarship Programs. Naranasan ko rin mismo kung gaano kahirap ang magtaguyod ng pamilya dahil ang sweldo ng aking mga magulang ay hindi sapat para sa aming siyam (9) na magkakapatid. Dahil dito, pinagsumikapan kong ilunsad ang programang ‘Abot Kayang Bigas’ pati na rin ang mga proyektong pangkabuhayan at Skills Training,’’ conveyed FL Anne Gordon.

She also acknowledged and paid tribute to the woman whom Olongapeños affectionately calls “Ina ng Olongapo,” first woman mayor and assemblywoman and recipient of the 2002 Pearl S. Buck Woman of the Year Award, “Dahil na rin sa inspirasyon na ibinigay ng pamilya Gordon, partikular na sa mga proyektong pangkawang-gawa ni Mama Amelia (Gordon), ipinagpapatuloy ko ang pagtulong sa ating mga kababayan,” FL Anne said.

Finally, FL Anne acknowledges Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr. for being a good husband to her and a loving father to their daughter Jane who is currently studying on a scholarship at the Marymount University in Virginia, USA.
