ROXAS CITY – A mayoral candidate in Ivisan, Capiz promised that if he wins in the coming election he will not get salary his salary, instead he will use it to finance the concreting of the road from the poblaction to Barangay Basiao of the said municipality.
Retired police officer Paeng Untayao, Liberal Party mayoral bet in Ivisan, made the promise to put an end to the sufferings of the people using the nine kilometer road.
Untayao said, Gov. Victor Tanco, Sr. also committed that once reelected he will contribute labor and equipment for the road concreting while retired police general Roberto “Bobby” Lastimoso also promised to contribute sand and gravel if he wins as representative of the Second District of Capiz.
