TACLOBAN CITY – “I don’t want to be defensive because there is no need to do so,” so said An Waray party-list Representative Florencio “Bem” Noel when asked to comment on the issues being thrown on him.
“Damu na it mga tira ha akun, on different angles, but before they write on paper or say anything on air, I hope that they can get their facts right,” said Rep.Noel, referring to his critics.
Noel said that he is aware that there are individuals who are working in media entities dedicating their time to criticize his entire moves but he stressed that he is not bothered by their actions.
Reportedly, issues thrown against Noel staretd to circulate when he was rumored to be interested to run for Tacloban city mayor in the 2013 elections.
Noel clarified that he does not only focus his concerns to the residents of this city but to the entire region as well.
“Let’s take EVRMC, how many percent is Tacloban residents who are availing of their services, maupay na it 30% and even in Metro Manila only a small percent of Taclobanons are availing the services that we offer,” Noel said.
Noel clarified that most of their projects are distributed across the region among which are irrigation projects in Ormoc City and in Eastern Samar.
He added that they have already identified a project which they will be in partnership with the Department of Agriculture to be implemented in Eastern Samar.
“There are many issues thrown against me, but most of us can’t remember because those issues are not substantial,” he said.
He added that although there are many issues hurled against him, he is not affected as most of the issues were baseless.
Noel then asked his critics to let him do his job as a congressman especially that their party-list group is dedicated not only for Waraynons but especially for those who have nothing in life.
“I hope that we can live in one environment even we are not in a peaceful co-existence,” Noel jokingly said. (Roel Amazona)
