Roxas provides legal support to pre-need planholders
Liberal President Senator Mar Roxas yesterday announced that he will give legal support to plan holders who are desperately running after their hard-earned savings that were squandered by certain pre-need companies.
He said pre-need plan holders who have pending claims or cases against pre-need companies could contact his hotline at 0919-MAROXAS (6276927), and he would be providing lawyers to attend to their legal needs.
"Malahalon ang ginkabudlayan nga kuarta ninyo kag ginpuhunan sa mga pre-need plan. Nasandig diri ang palaabuton sang inyo kabataan. Hatagan ko kamo sang abogado nga maga-dampig sa inyo. (The hard-earned money you invested in pre-need plans is important. Your childrens' future is at stake here. I will provide you with lawyers who will protect you)," he said.
"Pabayaron ang may balayran, pasabton ang kinahanglan manabat. (Those who have pending promises to you should pay up. Those who squandered your hard-earned money should answer to you)," he stressed.
Roxas lamented the snail-paced action of the government in running after obviously syndicated operations to "steal away the future of plan holders' children." "They are guilty of deliberate negligence."
"Madamu ang walay salig sa kahimtangan sang mga pre-need plans karon, apang wala naman nagahulag ang gobyerno agud malugpayan ining palaligban. (Many are anxious about the present state of pre-need plans, but the government is not acting in a timely manner to fix the problem)," the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade and Commerce said.
"Malahalon ang buasdamlag ninyo kag sang inyo kabataan. Apang daw wala ini kabilinggan sa Arroyo administration, nga nagpasulabi pa sa paglagas kay Obama kag sa mga prinsepe sang Saudi Arabia. (You are important. Your children's future is important. But it seems this is not important to the Arroyo Administration, who finds it more worthwhile to chase Obama and Saudi Arabian princes)," the Ilonggo Senator stressed.
"Malahalon kamo. Ako magabulig gid sa inyo. (You are important, I am with you)," he said.
