ANGELES CITY – “Gusto natin na ang mga programa natin ay makakatulong sa lahat. Hindi lang sa mga marginalized, kundi pati sa nagsisimulang negosyante.
Ang Gilas Partylist po ay inclusive and para sa lahat.” Thus, Gilas Partylist president Reghis “Reggieboy” Romero IV briefed media of his party’s advocacies on the sidelines of his recognition by the Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas-Angeles City Chapter at the city hall compound here on July 11.
“Ang goal natin ay makatulong na makapagpatapos ng pag-aaral ang kahit isang miyembro ng bawat pamilya.
Kahit pambili ng notebook o pandagdag baon sa araw-araw, basta makabawas sa gastusin ng pamilya,” Romero furthered,
referencing to the party program providing monthly cash allowance to college students.
He also outlined plans for distributing health vouchers to ease hospital costs for patients and extending essential capital aid to micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs.
The son and namesake of business mogul, philanthropist, and Knights of Rizal stalwart Reghis Romero II said he aspires to expand the social services initiated by his father as a way of giving back to the community.
“Ang Pilipinas po at ang mga Filipino ay naging napakabuti sa pamilya namin kaya naisip namin na dapat lang na ibalik ito sa pamamagitan ng magandang serbisyo,” he said.
The 31-year-old Romero is the vice president of Harbour Centre, vice president of RII Builders, president of Bonifacio Romero Foundation.
He is the former chairman of Kabataan Para Kay Rizal and University Student Government president of De La Salle University. He also served as an educator, teaching subjects such as history, social studies, and local governance.
Liga-Angeles City presented Romero its Liga General Membership Resolution 0711-002 S. 2024 extending its gratitude for his “unwavering support” to the city’s 333 barangays. Punto News Team/CLMA-Pampanga photos
