“If I were in such a pain I would have done the same thing and trust only my masseuse,” Jinky Sablan said.
She believes that in every rule there is an exception especially for emergency cases such as what Gov. Benigo R. Fitial claimed was the case when he needed the masseuse’s services.
Sablan’s relatives, who declined to be identified, agreed.
“Trusting one person to do a particular service for you is like trusting the quality of a certain product,” another resident, Lourdes Aquino, said.
But she also believes that Fitial should just have visited the hospital.
“What are the newly hired doctors for?” she asked.
A Department of Public Works employee, Bernardo Cruz, also expressed his support for the governor.
He said he backed the GOP during the elections, but now that Fitial has been elected, “I am embracing him as my governor.”
According to Cruz, he understands Fitial’s need to be massage by his personal masseuse.
“I would also want only one trusted person to do physical therapy procedures for me,” Cruz said.
He added that he and his family are “supporting the governor in this time of need,” and he’s asking the other members of the community to do the same.
