Unhappy with IEC pavilion

THE EAR - The Freeman
January 30, 2016 | 9:00am

FOOD. Not everybody is happy about the amount of money spent on the IEC Pavilion.  A taxi driver said the money, P70 million, should have gone to food and vitamins for malnourished children in the barangays.

POOR. "That amount would have gone a long long way if it went to poor people at public hospitals," said a barber.

NEIGHBOR. "How does one expect to go to heaven if he just keeps on building pavilions instead of helping his neighbor?" the barber continued, shaking his head.
