Maln’gan tribal dad remains rare to equal

Maln’gan tribal dad remains rare to equal – Known of his keen love and passion for the good of tribesmen, photo shows the half-blooded Blaan chief executive and ‘outgoing’ Mayor Reynaldo ‘Bongbong’ Constantino (3rd from left) as he extends outright personal assistance of P 5, 000 to a Banate National High School student (name withheld) in Malungon town. The kid has caught Constantino’s attention after, despite of some physical deformities, managed to perform his best for BNHS to bag the P140, 000-worth grand prize on last week’s colorful Street Dancing competition that highlighted the annual festivity of the SLANG Festival at the only landlocked town of Sarangani Province in Mindanao Island, Southern Philippines.  (JOJO GOCOTANO – Malungon Information Office/ ippalma).
