Abante Mindanao (ABAMIN) Party-list Representative Maximo Rodriguez, Jr. on Thursday vowed to continue supporting the city government here for the development of the city and the entire Caraga Region.
In a press conference held at the City Mayor's conference room here, Rodriguez said that part of the pork barrel he is receiving will go to the Mindanao Rural Development Project (MRDP). He added the city of Butuan, through Mayor Ferdinand Amante, was able to receive some P1 million for the development of infrastructure projects.
Rodriguez also said the province of Bukidnon as well as in Surigao were also given appropriate budget for infra development.
He emphasized that part of the infrastructure development is the construction of drainage systems that will benefit majority of the people in Mindanao. He said he is happy to note that the city government of Butuan is also pushing for Solid Waste Management System which is in-line with the plans and programs of ABAMIN.
The official also stressed ABAMIN is also supporting the infrastructure development on school buildings as he believed that this is one of the factors in providing quality education to pupils and students in Mindanao.
For ABAMIN, Rodriguez believed that Mindanao is the "Tiger Economy" of the country.
"Mindanao will be the place where food in the country will be sourced out… We are the food basket of the country so infrastructure development on agriculture must also be prioritized," he said.
Rodriguez further said he will be pouring in more infrastructure projects along Butuan and Surigao corridor especially developing roads such as asphalt overlaying and road concreting that will bring more development to Caraga Region.
