Board Member Gerardo “Boboy” Sabal, in behalf of the governor said local vendors play a crucial role in their respective families, so that helping them against loan sharks is very vital.
“Gusto sa atong gobernador nga protektahan ang atong mga local vendors pinaagi sa paghatag kanila ug small capital para dili na sila maka utang aning 5/6 nga maoy naka ipit kanila,” Sabal said
Sabal said the opening of the 36 vendors beside the provincial capitol grounds will be attended by Gov. Peter “Sr. Pedro” M. Unabia and Board Members Dexter Yasay, Rey Buhisan, Pangky Acain, Syremae “Say-say” Emano, Liga ng mga Barangay ABC President Robert “Bobet” de Lara and Michelle Anayron at PAGLAUM Hall, Provincial Capitol Compound, Misamis Oriental, this province.
LOAN SHARKS
Sabal said the vendors have been victimized by these loan sharks so that they cannot improve their living condition.
“Their income is given daily to the loan sharks and it only means they are helping the loan shark gain huge revenue. The only way or solution is for the government to intervene by giving them capital to start in their own money and stop the services of these loan sharks, he said.
