JOAVAN’S RENEWAL

IS Joavan Fernandez turning a new leaf?

Rep. Eduardo Gullas of Cebu’s 1st  district said he hopes  Joavan can sustain his apparent renewal.

After being involved in various law enforcement controversies, the adopted son of Talisay City Mayor Socrates Fernandez has been seen in civic projects like a feeding program for 200 children in Talisay city.

“It remains to be seen (if Joavan has truly changed). Only events teach us,” said Congressman Gullas who repeated his  call for Joavan to undergo drug rehabilitation.

Gullas said he is praying that Joavan will be transformed.

“I’m an optimist. I hope he will continue (the good deeds he make).  I’m not prepared to make a definitive, judgmental declaration if he has changed,” he said.

The feeding program Joavan took part in was a joint project of the mayor’s office and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)./REPORTER ADOR VINCENT S. MAYOL WITH CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
