BASILAN – President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday visited Basilan province in the Muslim autonomous region where he distributed farming equipment and boats to fishermen.
Duterte, accompanied by Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol, was welcomed by politicians who supported defeated Liberal Party presidential candidate Mar Roxas.
Duterte met with beneficiaries of the Lamitan (City) Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Cooperative, and farmers and fishermen. He distributed hundreds of bags of palay, corn and fertilizers and tractors to farmers, and dozens of boats for fishermen.
In Zamboanga City, also a Liberal Party stronghold, Duterte also met and spoke with policemen and reiterated his support to them as long as they do their duties honestly.
Many of what he told them was rhetoric as in his previous visits to military and police camps across the country. (Mindanao Examiner)
