GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao is now eying for  the construction of a P20M-worth farm-to-market road from Glan town to its farthest barangay in Datal Bukay, a reliable source said.

Brend Evangelio, the Congressman’s chief of staff said aside from his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), Rep. Pacquiao is also sourcing assistance  from the Department of Agriculture for the construction of an access road that will be use in transporting the farm produce of poor tribal farmers in the area.

“May ilang beses na kasi na nakapunta dito si sir (Pacquiao) para mamigay ng tulong kaya nakita nito mismo ang totoong sitwasyon ng mga tao. Noon pa man kasi ay talagang isa na itong Datal Bukay sa mga naka-programa para sa kanyang mga proyekto.  (The Congressman, in some instance, have personally seen the actual living condition of these poor villagers here. And beside, the construction of Datal Bukay farm-to-market road is already one among our  priority projects for this year,” said Evangelio, over a telephone interview.  

Meanwhile, Evangelio also dispelled a brewing  public conjecture believe to be hatched by Pacman's political foes.  

Allegations stress that Rep. Pacquiao is now up in conducting a series of medical outreach in different remote villages to gain the sympathy and support of poor Sarangans in this year's midterm elections. The uncontested Congressman, is fielding his wife Jinky for the vice gubernatorial post in the province.  

“Nakita naman natin na talagang matulungin lalo na sa 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 sestima ng ating Kongresista.” Evangelio said in a vernacular. (Isagani Palma-MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).
