Capitol Gave Out Goods To 2,100 Seniors In Barili

The Cebu Provincial Government led by Governor Hilario P. Davide III and Vice-governor Agnes Magpale distributed goods to 2,100 senior citizens for 14 barangays thru “Halad Alang Kang Lolo ug Lola” program in Barili town yesterday.

It was the second distribution held for the seniors this year.

One of the early birds, 74-year old Luisa Cartagenas of Barangay Candugay said she was ecstatic to come to the gym to receive her goods.

“Nagpakuyog ko sa akoang anak ug nagdali-dali gyud mi sa pag-ari, para modawat ug bugas, “ Lola Luisa said.

“Ikaduha na ko makadawat ug gasa gikan sa kapitolyo sukad niadtong niaging tuig, ug ‘duna pa’y uban nga mga medical mission, mga tambal nga libre. Ug kanunay lang ingon ani, malipay ra gyud ming mga senior citizen, “she added.

The activity was a collaboration between the provincial government and the Municipality of Barili led by Mayor Teresito Mariñas, municipal officials and barangay captains. Provincial Board Member Gigi Sanchez and PB candidate Anthony Yapha were also in attendance.

Davide and Magpale constantly reminded the public, just like in every distribution activity, on the sincere intention of the provincial government not to put political colors in their programs. Everyone is treated the same, Davide emphasized.

“Wa ta’y gipili, wa gyud ta’y partido nga gipili. Ang tanan nga motung-tung sa 60 anyos pataas, makadawat gayud ug gasa,” Magpale added

Mayor Mariñas who gave the welcome remarks is thankful to the provincial government for including the senior citizens in their agenda and projects.
