Rice aid over measly P200 ‘ayuda’- Pacquiao
By J.Lo
“Kakapiranggot masyado ang P200 kada buwang ayuda sa mga pamilyang mahihirap…hindi yan sasapat para maka-survive ang mga hikahos sa buhay kaya mas maganda sigurong isang sakong bigas na lang ibigay,” presidential candidate Sen. Manny Pacquiao suggested government should just deliver a sack of rice to poor families instead of giving out measly P200 “ayuda” in addressing soaring cost of fuel.
Pacquiao said government should also buy rice supply from local farmers at reasonable cost to help Filipino farmers who are struggling because of the influx of cheap imported rice.
“Pag may bigas ka kasi at mahirap ka, kahit papaano may kaunting mantika ka diyan at may asin o toyo ka, pwede mo nang maitawid ang gutom mo…sigurado ka pa na sa pagkain mapupunta at hindi sa ibang bagay.”
Pacquiao said President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to allocate at least P33.1 billion to finance cash assistance for the “bottom 50 percent of all Filipino households” is in agreement with his position that government can address skyrocketing cost of fuel.
Pacquiao stressed that P200 per month is not enough to help the country’s poor.
Against the backdrop of rising prices of basic commodities, the amount of cash assistance may be far from achieving its objective of easing economic difficulties faced by them, he explained.
He said sack of race delivered monthly to members of the “C, D, and E” classes of Filipino families can be the best option in addressing the problem.
“We will be shooting two birds with just one stone if government will choose this option to help the poor…mabibigyan na natin ng konting ginhawa ang mga mahihirap, matutulungan pa natin ang mga magsasaka sa pagbili ng kanilang mga ani,” Pacquiao said.
Senator Manny Pacquiao continued his presidential campaign, courting support of village officials from Eastern Visayas.
Facing the ‘Liga ng Barangay’ 3rd National Assembly for the third time, but with his fellow “Warays,” the PROMDI standard bearer again brought up his so-called “HEALTH for the Nation Program,” which stands for Housing, Employment, Agriculture, Livelihood, Transportation and Health.
Pacquiao also underlined his vow to imprison all corrupt government officials should he become the next president.
“Ang dami talaga sa national ng corrupt…nakikita ko ang imahe sa bansa natin walang pupuntahan dahil sa korapsyon,..kaya yun ang gusto ko, makita ang mga kawatang magsama-sama sa kulungan… matagal ko nang inaasam na kinabukasan ng bawat pamilya ” he told his audience.
The remark elicited some applause from his audience, but still more lively compared to the reaction that he received from the Calabarzon crowd last over the weekend.
Eastern Visayas represents around 3,166,262 voters, coming from Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Samar (Western Samar), and Southern Leyte.
Pacquiao’s mother Dionesia hails from Samar, while the senator’s father Rosalio came from Cebu.
Pulse Asia’s February survey noted Pacquiao’s electoral rating in the Visayas was 16 percent, followed by Mindanao with 15 percent, and three percent in Balance Luzon.
Pacquiao was at the tail-end of the survey, with 8 percent as overall rating, and notably, with “zero” supporting respondent from the National Capital Region.
Pacquiao also had 8 percent support from “Class D” and 16 percent from “Class E sector of society.
He merely laughed off the survey results.
“Zero grabe…sino kaya maniwala dun…baka mayayaman lang tinanong nila…baka hindi nila tinanong yung mahihirap,.for the longest time naman…dalawang dekada na ang lumipas, hindi naman nasusunod ang survey…kahit i-zero pa nila ako, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao … hindi pa rin ako matitinag. Eh ano yan eh, mind conditioning sa taumbayan” Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao will just continue with his campaign activities and will directly talk to those who really need government assistance.
“Bilang ko ‘yung mga supporters ko sa pangangampanya namin, nitong machinery namin…at makikita na lang nila yung resulta pagdating ng eleksyon,” he said.
Bienvenido Cagsawa, chairman of Barangay Enriqueta in Lavazares, Northern Leyte, said voters should hear every candidate’s platform instead of looking at the surveys.
“Hindi naman lahat ng survey totoo ‘yan,” he said… “para sa akin hindi ako naa-ano ng survey … katulad sa probinsya namin, kailangan totoong presidente na kailangan marunong tumingin sa mahihirap.”
