Tabon-Tabon.. mayor Rusty Baderian..answer to the rice shortage

Mayor Rusty Balderian


On my part as the local chief executive of our town, in order to cushion the oncoming rice shortage, I have issued an executive order to the residents to plant vegetables in their front and backyards. All vacant lots will be turned into a community garden. Initially we have given the seeds for free but on the second cycle they will be buying the seeds from our Municipal Agriculture Office. The organic fertilizer will be coming from our Municipal Zero Garbage Plant on credit. Except for the initial seeds, everything will be on credit. No dole outs to our people to cut off the mendicant psyche in our community.

To ensure the success of my program, I have organized a summer school-work program for our incoming first year and second year college scholars (215 students) from TabonTabon. Each one of them will be assigned to a home to supervise and monitor the community in their vegetable garden activities. They will be graded and will earn credit towards their college education. Since I am giving them scholarship in my school, ( www.csllfi.org ) they can not refuse to work.

I have assigned 2 barangays per department head in the Local Government Unit to oversee the work of the volunteer students. Parallel monitoring will be done by the Barangay Captains and their "Kagawads" (Barangay Councilors) to assure a 100% compliance.

Rusty Balderian is like a breath of fresh air, creating hope out of hopelessness, pride where there was none or very little and a determination to provide for every member of his town with enough food to eat......is it not great to see a mayor going 100% for his electorate. He is showing his love for the Filipino and the Philippines.. Tarsier


Archbishop of Palo, His Eminence Jose Palma. He was just our visitor last Sunday in TabonTabon between 7:30 am to 12 noon. He inducted our Parish Pastoral Council and celebrated his birthday with us. I was talking to him regarding our food production program and I showed him our model house made of cem-fiber board that we are producing for our low cost housing. He was amazed to know that we can construct a fire resistant, breathable but durable small house (10'X10') made of indigenous materials at a cost of 20 thousand pesos only.
