Naniniwala po akong dahil ito ang ating pinagkukunan ng araw araw na pamumuhay, karapa’t dapat lang po na ito ay bigyang prayoridad hindi lamang sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng madaliang tulong, kundi maging ang pagbuo ng mga pangmatagalang programa at proyekto na mas makatutulong sa inyong sektor at sa pag-asenso ng inyong kabuhayan,” states the governor’s message.
