Regarding his vision and projections for Guanacaste, he commented, “I want Guanacaste to consume its own power, for Guanacaste to manage its own resources, so that what is produced here will provide benefits to the province… I want Abangares to be a jewelry-making canton, for us to turn the gold that is produced there into jewelry, so there is work for many people and the economy grows… I have an ambitious project to create a railway linking the Gulf of Nicoya with Cuajiniquil, where we have Cuajiniquil as a departure point and access to the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, with the goal of growing Guanacaste’s industry. Since I travel daily and have friendship with Asian countries, I’ve noticed that for them, the railroads are an important part of the economy of these countries.”
He also assured: “As an businessman, I have a vision of a good administration and I believe that Guanacaste requires a good administration of their resources… Some legislators who have been elected in the province just go to San Jose to live the good life while Guanacaste falls to pieces… My position is to get to congress to give back to this province that has given me so much… For this, we will work with everything… but I’m not Superman; I need everyone in order to bring forth our projects for Guanacaste.”
