mga catastrophic disease tulad ng breast cancer, prostate cancer, at
acute leukemia, makukuha na nang libre ng mga pinakamahirap nating
kababayan.

lugar kung saan naitala ang pinakamataas na
insidente ng dengue. Sa buong probinsya ng
Bukidnon noong 2010, may 1,216 na kaso. Nang
inilagay ang mga mosquito trap noong 2011:
bumaba ito sa tatlumpu't pito; 97 percent reduction

Cagayan, may 228 na kaso ng dengue noong 2010.

10. • para naman po hindi mapag-iwanan ang ating mga
State Universities and Colleges, mayroon tayong
panukalang 43.61 percent na pag-angat sa kanilang
budget para sa susunod na taon. Paalala lang po: lahat
ng ginagawa natin, may direksyon; may kaakibat na
kondisyon ang dagdag-budget na ito. Kailangang
ipatupad ang napagkasunduang SUC Reform Roadmap
ng CHED, upang siguruhing de-kalidad ang magiging
produkto ng mga pamantasang pinopondohan ng
estado. Kung mataas ang grado ninyo sa assignment na
ito, asahan ninyong dodoblehin din namin ang kayod
para matugunan ang mga natitirang pangangailangan
ninyo.

11. • Panay addition po ang nagaganap sa ating budget sa edukasyon.
Isipin po ninyo: ang budget ng DepEd na ipinamana sa atin noong
2010, 177 billion pesos. Ang panukala natin para sa 2013: 292.7
billion pesos. Noong 2010, 21.03 billion pesos ang budget para sa
SUCs. Taunan po iyang dinagdagan upang umabot na sa 37.13
billion pesos na panukala natin para sa 2013. Sa kabila
nito, ngayon pa lang, may nagpaplano nang magcutting-classes
para mag-piket sa Mendiola. Ganito po kasimple: ang 292.7 ay
mas malaki sa 177, at ang 37.13 ay mas malaki sa 21.03. Kaya kung
may magsabi pa ring binawasan natin ang budget ng
edukasyon, kukumbinsihin na lang namin ang inyong mga
paaralan na maghandog ng remedial math class para sa inyo. At
pakiusap po, pasukan naman ninyo.

12. • Training for Work Scholarship Program.
Kongkretong tagumpay din po ang hatid ng
TESDA Specialista Technopreneurship
Program. Biruin po ninyo: Bawat isa sa 5,240
na sertipikadong Specialistas, kumikita na
ngayon ng 562 pesos kada araw o 11,240
pesos kada buwan. Mas malaki po ito sa
minimum wage.
