Arnold Clavio: “Shoutout sa Administrasyong Marcos para sa tulong sa mga magsasakang katulad ni Felix na sa paniwala’y pinabayaan na sila ng gobyerno”
ARNOLD CLAVIO – The broadcast journalist urged the current administration to help farmers like Felix Pangibitan in their recovery following the devastation of Typhoon Karding
Earlier, Pangibitan went viral on social media after expressing his concern about his rice crops prior to the arrival of Typhoon Karding.
More than half of Pangibitan’s crops were destroyed after the typhoon passed.
In an interview with Clavio, the host of Unang Hirit, Pangibitan couldn’t help but express his displeasure with the government.
“Ganyan po kaming mga farmer, kahit po naaapi kami… aping-api naman talaga kasi kami diba limot kami ng gobyerno,” he said.
Unang Hirit extended their help to Pangibitan, but according to him, it was sufficient that he was able to convey his message to the government.
“Kapos po ‘yung suporta nila saming mga farmer,” the farmer said.
Clavio promised Pangibitan that he would call the attention of the government, which he later did through his post on Instagram.
Here’s the IG post of Arnold Clavio:
Malacañang and the Department of Agriculture headed by the president himself have yet to respond to the request of Pangibitan.
Meanwhile, the country was battered by Typhoon Karding in recent days.
Eight (8) have been reported dead while three (3) are missing according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
Five of them were the Bulacan hero rescuers while two were from Zambales and the other was from Quezon.
The agricultural damage brought by the typhoon has reached 1.3 billion pesos.
