TACLOBAN CITY – An Waray party-list Representative Florencio “Bem” Noel promised that he will continue in giving projects to barangays in Tacloban despite reports that some of the projects like the tanod out-posts that he provided with funding were taken out by members of the Traffic Operation Management Enforcement and Control Office (TOMECO).
Noel said that as those projects were asked by the residents and officials of the barangays, those who had issued an order to remove them should have respected the people who had asked for his help.
“I am hoping and praying that whoever did that will return them back to their proper place.These are the little tings that we can give to the barangays that they had asked from us because they need them,” Noel stressed.
Noel added that the funds that were used on those projects provided to the barangays were public fund which means that it should not be taken out that easily.
He said that in order to avoid future problems in their project implementations, barangay officials should seek permit from the city government.
“Those who were able to get projects from us, I told them that if it needs permit, they should secure one.But it doesn’t mean that basta-basta na la ig-papa stop it patrabaho,”he said,referring to an infrastructure project funded by the party-list but was stopped by the city government for some reason .
“If ever they continue doing this, if they take away a barangay out-post, I will give another barangay out-post to them.It will not make us stop giving projects to the barangays,” he added.
