MANILA\u2014Elated by the supports of the Bicol region leaders, presidential candidate Sen. Grace Poe promised to push for projects that would create livelihood for the region if she gets elected in May 9 polls.<\/p>\n

\u201dSa atin pong mga kababayan, hindi po man ako pinanganak dito sa Bicol, napakarami pong mga Bicolano ang tumutulong sa akin. Kung sakali ako\u2019y mabibigyan ng pagkakataon bilang pangulo, dito sa Bicol, mas lalo nating palakasin ang livelihood,\u201d Poe said in a political rally in Legaspi City.<\/p>\n

Accompained by Albay Gov. Joel Salceda, Poe informed the huge crowd about her plans to boost the agriculture sector with Php300-billion allocation every year, particularly the free irrigation for the poor farmers.<\/p>\n

She also intends to continue the 4Ps (pangtawid pamilyang pilipino program) or conditional cash transfer (CCT) program by adding additional \u201cP\u201d which stands for pangkabuhayan or livelihood.<\/p>\n

\u201dPangkabuhayan lalo na sa mga kababaihan para lalo kayong makatulong sa inyong pamilya,\u201d Poe said, drawing loud applause.<\/p>\n

Poe reiterated her commitment to fight illegal drugs and criminality without resorting to violent approach, obviously referring to rival Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s promise to kill criminals if necessary.<\/p>\n

Poe and her running mate Sen. Francis \u2018Chiz\u2019 Escudero stressed that the real enemy is poverty, which is the root of criminality.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi ako talaga naniniwala sa bayolenteng paraan nang pagwawakas ng mga suliranin natin,\u201d Poe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSa ating mga kababayan, \u2018yon lang naman \u2018yung punto ko dito. Piliin natin kung sinong makakaahon sa atin sa kahirapan. Hindi bala ang sagot sa ating problema. Magsisisi po tayo dahil napagdaanan na natin \u2018yan,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said giving someone blanket authority to kill is a dangerous thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cKailangan sa isang namumuno maging halimbawa ng pagrespeto ng proteksyon ng ating mga kababayan. Dahil kung bibigyan niya ng blanket order na bahala na, barilin ninyo kung sinong nararapat, e kung mapagkamalan tayo? Usually, ang mahihirap ang napagkakamalan,\u201d Poe said.<\/p>\n

In her previous visit Sorsogon, Poe and Escudero said the “Gobyernong May Puso” intends to revive the railway system from Manila to Sorsogon for east transport of goods and products from Bicol region.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, Poe and Escudero barnstormed Masbate and Albay days after being officially endorsed by the governors in the Bicol region which accounts for 3.12 million voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
