Dear Editor,
Dr. Mercelina has shown outstanding dedication to our country and the people. He has proven his love for the people by his relentless dedication to each and every one of us who have been his patient and even those with emergencies, at all hours.
He has shown the same honour and unwavering commitment to us as a parliamentarian, his concern is truly for the people. He is a man honouring his responsibility as a fine doctor while at the same time serving as a parliamentarian with only one thing in mind: His people…. us…. you and me.
He is not a businessman, he is totally independent of the business community, being a doctor. His job is to heal and what we need right now on Sint Maarten is a healer who owes no favours, has no need to do any favours, because he is a professional doctor, whose income comes as a result of his hard-earned profession.
His moral character cannot be challenged…. his commitment to us cannot be doubted…. his motive cannot be challenged. He has proved that over and over again, putting his personal life aside to help those in need.
These are the God-given gifts of a true leader.
Cheri Batson
