Old saying still Rocks

Panalo kay Haresco

“Practice what you preach”, and “Teach people to fish rather than giving them fish to eat.” It’s what best describes with Aklan representative Teodorico 'Nonong' Haresco Jr.  Few people today especially politicians have this kind of notion in life but instead, a lot of failed promises and life of in-consistencies was being displayed in their next 6 years of their terms. 

Having said this, a person in power should not be perfect because nobody can attain it anyway but should be in a little way does what he intends and what he knows should be right within his conscience right before his people and God.

Their life as a middle class family earning just enough for a daily living,  which leads him to sell prawns with a little amount that he loans from his relative and later on meet his educational and personal needs . That’s why through this lessons he was very optimistic and bold enough to tell his constituents that they can attain certain things in life even in a small and little steps . He calls it micro entrepreneurial management.

 Because after finishing college his determination in business develops his little startup into a huge 50 hectare prawn farming ventures in his hometown of Ibajay, Aklan and find himself catering to big restaurants and literally big names in the Metro.

After His masteral, He participated in the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development International Trade Center in Switzerland  which leads to exporting local capiz shells to the European country.

As a Congressman he passed bills such as authorized and co-authorized more than 60 house measures including HB00111, an act establishing a mechanism for the development of the island Boracay; HB00115 , an act increasing the bed capacity of Ibajay District Hospital from 25 to 100; HB02239, an act granting Php 1,000.00 monthly by way of financial assistance for the Centenarians; HB02240, an act exempting the users of Electronic Vehicles from the payment of Road users tax; HB02241, an act to prescribe nutrition labeling for food products; HB02323, an act granting PHP500.00 monthly allowance to Barangay Tanods; HB02414, an act amending Section 5 of Republic Act No. 10121 otherwise known as an act strengthening the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management system; HB02415, an act to combat abuse and increase penalties for crime against Senior Citizens;  HB03192 an act providing the establishment of Barangay Drugstore otherwise known as “Botika sa Barangay”;HB08366, an act penalizing competitive agreement, abuse of dominant position, and  competitive mergers, establishing Phil Fair Competition Commission ; HB03776, an act empowering micro small , medium enterprises and HB04335 an act requiring mandatory installations of CCTV cameras on major roads , including the routes of PUV’s . Furthermore, he conceptualized the President’s Bridge programme as a parallel intervention to popular government infrastructure program.

With these bunch of so called humanitarian and progressive bills will make us understand why we still need to have this kind of people serving in the government for the sake of his constituents , people and country.
