ENGINEER Rosendo So of the Abono Partylist has endorsed the re-election of Senator Alan Cayetano before various groups of farmers and fishermen saying that with Cayetano, the issue of rice smuggling that hinders the growth of the agricultural industry would be addressed.

Cayetano was warmly received during a visit to the province last Friday by around a thousand farmers, fishermen and other members of the agricultural community, including those from the Abono Partylist, the Pangasinan Federation of Irrigators Association, the Integrated Fisheries Aquatic Resources Management Council (IFARMC), and the Pangasinan Municipality Fisheries Council.

Cayetano, for his part, said he alone cannot fight to end smuggling in order to increase the incomes of farmers and rallied the crowd to go out on May 13 and vote wisely.

“Choose the candidate who will fight for your interests and the interests of all Filipinos. Choose the candidate who will fight for your cause,” he said.

The senator took the last leg of his Listening Tour to the Balikbayan Hall in Urdaneta City, specifically to give full support to the members of the area’s agricultural sector.

“This is one of the last stops of my Listening Tour pero bumalik ako dahil gusto ko talagang marinig, maintidihan at maisapuso ang mga isyu ng mga Pangasinense.I am here to listen to your needs so that I’ll know what causes to prioritize in the Senate,” Cayetano explained as he expressed support to the cry of the agricultural sector for increased farm to market roads and irrigation.

“Ultimately our end goal is to achieve the promotion of the agricultural and fishery industry to strengthen our economy and achieve lower prices, more jobs, and higher pay,” he continued.

Cayetano, who has already visited Pangasinan in February, said Pangasinan is especially close to his heart because it is the home province of his great grandfather on the Cayetano side.
