Bagong Pilipinas Fair set to resume Mindanao road show

Bagong Pilipinas Fair services are set to roll out anew in Mindanao this week in furtherance of the election campaign promises of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., according to Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong.

Adiong asserted that  the Marcos administration was taking care of Mindanao contrary to allegations by his critics.

He said the Bagong Filipinas Fair has been launched in Bukidnon, Sultan Kudarat, Davao de Oro, and Agusan del Norte, and will be rolled out in Zamboanga and Tawi-Tawi on Thursday.

“So nakita po natin (We have seen) how the President actualizes the promise (of unity) that he mentioned during the campaign and how he will keep that promise up until the end of his term,” he said.

Adiong pointed out that the Chief Executive has been visiting all parts of the country, from the northernmost part of Luzon to the southern tip in Tawi-Tawi.

The Mindanao lawmaker also disclosed  that the Marcos administration would build “one of the longest bridges of the country, that would be connecting Lanao del Norte and Ozamis City to provide and make it easier for the commuters and for transportation of goods, for the inland trading exchanges of goods in between and among provinces in Mindanao.”

He also said the President respects the peace and electoral processes in Mindanao.

“He will make sure that in 2025, we will respect the right of the people to elect their choice of leaders. In 2025 come BARMM (Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) elections that will be the first election…So, I don’t think it’s fair to say that the President is actually neglecting Mindanao,” he stressed.
