ROXAS CITY – Capiz Governor Victor Tanco Sr. turned over Monday a four-wheel farm tractor for use of the people in the Municipality of Sigma. Coursed through Mayor Maria Andaya, the turn-over was made in Barangay Parian.
In simple ceremony, witnesses were members of the Parian Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Multi-Purpose Cooperative and local officials.
According to the governor, his administration is focused on securing the welfare of the farmers and residents on how to upgrade lives and fight poverty through farming.
"The government existed because of its constituents. Public officials were put by the people to lead the projects for the stakeholders." GovernorTanco said.
He added that the turn-over of the farm tractor is consistent on his mandate being the governor of the province of Capiz.
