Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao is now eyeing the construction of a P20 million worth farm-to-market road that will connect Glan Poblacion and the remotest barangay Datal Bukay in Glan, Sarangani .
Bren Evangelio, Pacquiao’s chief of
staff, said aside from his (Pacquiao) Project Development Assistance Fund
(PDAF), the congressman is now sourcing out funds from the Department of
Agriculture for the construction of the farm-to-market road that would serve as
an access road to transport the agricultural products of B’laan farmers living
in the said village going to the poblacion.
“May
ilang beses na kasi na nakapunta dito si congressman para mamigay ng tulong
kaya nakita nito mismo ang totoong sitwasyon ng mga tao. Noon pa man ay
talagang isa na itong Datal Bukay sa mga naka-programa sa kanyang mga proyekto,”
Evangelio said.
Meanwhile, Evangelio defended Pacquiao from accusations hatched by his
political opponents in which the congressman was assailed for
conducting medical missions to prop up the candidacy of his wife Jinkee who is
running for vice- governor of Sarangani
Evangelio said the accusations
against the congressman was baseless and unfair, saying the congressman has
been conducting humanitarian projects even before the election period.
“Nakita naman natin na talagang
matulungin lalo na sa mga mahihirap si sir Manny, kahit noon pa man na wala pa
ito sa pulitika. Kaya wala naman sigurong dahilan para punahin pa nila ang
ganitong sistema ng ating kongresista.” Evangelio said. (Isagani Palma-MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).
