In a text message, Pamintuan thanked God, the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) staff and the League of Mayors, among others, for helping him win the prize.
“Thank you, Lord, for giving the Philippines another top mayor prize. Thank you LCP staff and the League of Mayors for helping me achieve all this accomplishments in less than a year,” Pamintuan said.
