“ Ang Tagbina ang pinaka-paspas sa tanang LGU nga nagcomply sa mga requirements
aron mapadali ang pay-out sa BP2P, wala nag-abot ug usa kabulan, nahatag na ang
cash assistance sa inyuha (Tagbina is the fastest among all the LGUs that
complied with the requirements to expedite the BP2P pay-out, in less than a
month the assistance was given to you),” Calo hailed.
