1Pacman strives for wider outreach programs for Laguna district
1Pacman partylist first nominee Milka Romero
Simple ball handling can look trivial. But given more practice, tournaments, and facilities, the learning of basic skills with great mentorship produces able-bodied and strong-minded individuals with world-class goals.
1Pacman partylist’s sports outreach for Laguna province has just reached its fifth session, and impacted barangays now share the advocacy for sports and youth development. This, as wider outreach programs to cover health and education are also being planned for Laguna with a successful run this coming May.
For 1Pacman partylist first nominee Milka Romero, the sports clinics that support grassroots youth and are being enjoyed tremendously by participants are a good example of the benefits of solid coordination with local government units with partylists.
1Pacman sports outreach organizers recently concluded the fifth session of basketball clinic in Barangay San Antonio, Mabitac in the fourth district of Laguna.
Other sports clinics were earlier held in other areas such as Barangay Paagahan in Mabitac, Barangay Wawa in Siniloan, and in Sta. Cruz.
1Pacman received a warm welcome from the Laguna townsfolk when it was presented as the endorsed party list of the True Movement for Change with Atty. Tony Carolino as the Laguna fourth district congressional aspirant.
The proclamation rally gave a hearty response when Romero said that local projects on health, education, social services, and infrastructure can be strengthened while 1Pacman works on legislation that provides additional funding through the national budget.
“Malaki ang maitutulong sa pag-target ng funding para mga special projects para sa asenso ng probinsya at ng mga munisipyo. May para sa kalusugan, para sa edukasyon, at pati na rin espesyal na infrastructure,” she said.
(This will greatly help in targeting funding for special projects that contribute to the progress of the province and its municipalities. There are allocations for health, education, and even special infrastructure projects.)
Romero, an accomplished daughter of 1Pacman Rep. Mikee Romero, explained that she only has to show the track record of her father to show proof of uplifting the lives of marginalized countrymen.
During her father’s third term in Congress, he served as chairman of the House committee on poverty alleviation, and he secured P7 billion in additional funds for the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino program for 2025. It has benefited one million more families. Over 30,000 scholarship grants and medical assistance were also provided to poor families.
“There are a lot more that can be achieved with the presence of 1Pacman partylist in Congress as it pledges its full support of advancing the concerns of the people of Laguna,” Romero said.
