Ako Bicol Party-List Rep. Zaldy Co has expressed his gratitude to President Marcos for his transformative initiatives in the Bicol region that have benefited local agriculture, fisheries, and community development.

Co, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, gave this message during Marcos’ recent visit to Bicol wherein he distributed assistance to farmers, fisherfolk, and their families.

"Today, we’re not just graced by your presence, Mr. President, but also by the profound impact of your legacy projects," Co said in his speech.

"Sa bawat sulok ng Bicol Region, ramdam po namin ang pagbuhos ng biyaya mula sa inyong administrasyon. Ang mga proyekto at programang ito’y nagpapataas ng kalidad ng buhay at nagbibigay din ng bagong pag-asa’t inspirasyon sa aming mga Bicolano,” he added.

(In every corner of the Bicol region, we feel the outpouring of blessings from your administration. These projects and programs uplift our quality of life and provide hope and inspiration to us Bicolanos.)

Co said the President’s legacy projects play a vital role in strengthening food security, healthcare, and housing in the region.

In the area of food security, the Bicolano lawmaker highlighted the distribution of presidential assistance to farmers, fisherfolks, and families.

With this program, P10,000 financial aid was provided to every beneficiary from Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Catanduanes. This was accompanied by the distribution of essential agricultural inputs including farm equipment, machinery, fertilizer, seedlings, piglets, feeds, and animal vaccines.

Fisherfolks also received boats provided by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) with this program.

For healthcare, Co emphasized the ongoing construction of the “legacy building” at the Bicol Regional Hospital and Medical Center (BHRMC),

As part of the Marcos administration’s Legacy on Specialty Hospitals initiative, this particular project is set to enhance medical services throughout the Bicol region and nearby provinces.

"Ang proyektong ito’y katuparan ng aming pangakong mapabuti ang kalusugan ng bawat Bicolano (This project is a realization of our promise to improve the health of every Bicolano),” noted Co.

Meanwhile, the congressman also commended the legacy housing projects of President Marcos which aims to provide safe and decent living conditions for Filipino families.

He said this initiative is a true reflection of the administration’s commitment to community welfare.

Additionally, Co also shed a spotlight on the ongoing efforts by the government to upgrade the region’s power infrastructure, which include the rehabilitation of electric cables and the construction of new sub-stations.

“These improvements are seen to stabilize the region’s power supply and reduce the frequency of brownouts,” he said.

As chairperson of arguably the most influential committee in the House of Representatives—the Appropriations Committee—Co assured support for Marcos’ “unparalleled dedication” to improve the lives of Filipinos.

"Makakaasa po kayo sa matibay at tuluy-tuloy na suporta ng House of Representatives sa inyong mga adhikain para sa bansa,” he stressed.

(You can count on the House of Representatives’ strong and continued support for all your aspirations for the country.)
