He also shared to the Bulakenyo applicants that they would be prioritized on the jobs brought by the huge developments in the province including the Bulacan airport and the Mega City in Pandi, Balagtas, and Bocaue.
“Kasabay ng mga parating na mga developments ang pagdating din ng mga trabaho para sa mga Bulakenyo. Huwag po tayong masiraan ng kalooban. Laban lang po tayo. Pasasaan ba at makakaraos din tayong lahat,” the governor said.

Meanwhile, Jhonavie Pagtalunan, a previous scholar of PGB and a Theater Arts undergraduate, tearfully thanked iQor, a BPO company, for hiring her on the spot.
