We, the Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG), proudly affirm our full and unwavering support for Mayor Benjamin “Benjie” Magalong of Baguio City. His distinguished track record is proof that integrity, courage, and independence are not negotiable but the essential foundation of true leadership.
As Mayor of Baguio, he has consistently defended the common good against entrenched interests. He has acted decisively to regulate overdevelopment, protect the city’s environment, and confront corruption across Baguio and the Cordillera, always placing accountability above personal and political gain.
At the national level, Mayor Magalong has consistently chosen integrity even in the face of intimidation and pressure. He led the Board of Inquiry on the Mamasapano tragedy with independence, rejecting attempts to alter the final report. He courageously exposed the “ninja cops” controversy, prioritizing principle over personal or institutional loyalty. He has faced these battles head-on, often at great personal risk.
These choices send one clear message: Mayor Magalong cannot be bought, bullied, or swayed by favors or threats. His compass has always been the truth.
At a time when public trust in institutions is eroded, Mayor Magalong is living proof that leaders of character still exist: those who put people above politics, justice above self-interest, and service above ambition.
We, the members of M4GG, affirm our complete confidence in Mayor Benjamin Magalong. We call on all who believe in integrity and accountability to recognize and support his steadfast commitment to good governance.
We stand united in this crusade for truth and against corruption, fighting to ensure that the Filipino people receive the principled leadership they deserve. Our fight for good governance is not a sprint but a long game, one we are committed to winning for the people we serve.
