IF HE had his way, he would have followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the military. However, the father of Sto. Tomas, Batangas Mayor Arth Jhun A. Marasigan had other plans for his son. His father and his five brothers all served in the military and it seemed inevitable that Marasigan would follow in their footsteps.
One of his clients happened to be the late former Batangas Governor Armando Sanchez. Marasigan was the corporate lawyer and secretary of some of the companies that Sanchez owned. When Sanchez died in 2010, Marasigan continued to be connected with his companies. From 2004 to 2010, Sanchez’ wife Edna was the mayor of Sto. Tomas. She was supposed to run for her last term as Sto. Tomas mayor in 2010 but she substituted for the late Sanchez who ran for governor. She later lost to Vilma Santos.
Thanks to contributions from the AnaKalusugan Party List, Sen. Loren Legarda, and local funds, and the support of his doctor sister, Marasigan said he is confident that the hospital will be completed within this year.ON THE education front, Marasigan said he was able provide and distribute uniforms to all 25,000 elementary school students in Sto. Tomas. This year, he plans to give away school shoes to the some 15.000 junior and senior high school students.
“I am proud to say that I have already delivered 70 percent of my campaign promises so I still have to make up for the other promises,” he said.
