The administration of our dear President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is ready to help to uplift the lives of our people,” said Romualdez, who graced the affair hosted by Deputy Speaker Antonio  Albano together with Isabela Governor Rodolfo Albano III, and Ilagan City Mayor Josemarie Diaz.

“This is the promise of the New Philippines – a united government that does not wait.

Rather, it voluntarily reaches out to the people to meet your needs as soon as possible.”

House Secretary General Sofonias Gabonada, a member of the BPSF National Secretariat, said thirty-six national government agencies offering over 195 services for at least 100,000 expected beneficiaries participated during the two-day festival of services.

For the BPSF, Gabonada said a total of P500 million worth of programs and services will be distributed, including P152 million worth of cash aid to citizens of Isabel

“We know that it is not easy for many of us, especially those of you who live in remote areas, to go and ask for help from the government. That’s why, in this Service Fair, the government is approaching you,”Romualdez said.

“Sa Serbisyo Fair, nagsama-sama ang iba’t-ibang mga sangay ng pamahalaan upang maihatid at maipaabot nang mas mabilis ang mahahalagang impormasyon at serbisyo tungo sa ating sama-samang pag-unlad,” he continued. “Halos lahat ng inyong pangangailangan — sa kalusugan, kabuhayan, trabaho, pag-aaral — narito po ngayon sa Serbisyo Fair.”

(At the Serbisyo Fair, the various branches of the government came together to deliver and deliver more quickly important information and services towards our collective development… Almost all of your needs — health, livelihood, work, education — are now here at Serbisyo Fair)

Among the services offered will be DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program, which will have a province-wide payout in all three cities and 34 municipalities and is expected to reach over 42,000 individual beneficiaries amounting to P140 million pesos.

Other province-wide activities include various scholarship programs of TESDA and CHED and livelihood assistance for multiple sectors in pre-identified eligible clients across Isabela.

On the first night of the Serbisyo Fair, a Pasasalamat Concert will also be held at the Ilagan Sports Complex with free admission, which is expected to draw a crowd of at least 35,000 people.
