Keep your election promises, 
militant groups tell Tanco

By FELIPE CELINO

ROXAS City – Militant groups reminded Gov. Victor Tanco to fulfill his election promises.

The Kalipunan ng Mamamayang Mahihirap (KADAMAY), Anakpawis and Gabriela staged a rally in front of the Capiz Provincial Capitol recently and complained that most of them living in coastal areas were being neglected.

Most of the rallyists were from barangays Dumulog, Cogon, Punta Cogon, Libas, Culasi and Dinginan of Roxas City.

Where’s the financial assistance Tanco promised them during the campaign, they asked.

The inclement weather these past few weeks has made their lives harder because they were not able to set out to sea, the said.

Tanco was reelected for a second term last year./PN
