MAY GULAY LAUNCHING - SM Megamall, June 06, 2005

MGA MINAMAHAL KONG KABABAYAN…

MAGANDANG HAPON… BAYAN!

ISANG MAGANDANG PAGKAKATAON PARA SA AKIN NA MAGING KABAHAGI NG PAGLULUNSAD NG DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, SA PANGUNGUNA NI KALIHIM ART YAP, NG KANILANG NAPAPANAHONG PROYEKTO NA TUNAY NA PARA SA INYO (… BAYAN), ANG MAY GULAY PROJECT.

YESTERDAY, NO LESS THAN OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT, GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, LED THE LAUNCHING OF THIS NOTEWORTHY PROJECT, IN THE NUMEROUS TINDAHAN NI GLORIA ROLLING STORES. THIS AFTERNOON, WE ARE LAUNCHING THIS PROJECT IN THE MAJOR SUPERMARKETS, INCLUDING OUR HOST FOR THIS AFTERNOON, THE SM SUPERMARKETS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE VENERABLE SY FAMILY.

THE MAY GULAY PROJECT SEEKS TO PROVIDE US CONSUMERS WITH A CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES AT AFFORDABLE PRICES. UNDER THE PROGRAM, THREE SETS OF VEGETABLE PREPARATION, NAMELY: PINAKBET, CHOPSUEY AND SINIGANG (WHICH ARE ALL FILIPINO FAVORITES) ARE PACKED IN 500 GRAMS (HALF A KILO) AND SOLD AT P25 PER PACK. EACH PACK IS GOOD FOR A HEALTHY FAMILY OF FIVE. AS A BONUS, THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GUARANTEES THAT THE VEGETABLES COMPOSING EACH MAY GULAY PACK ARE CLEAN, SAFE AND HEALTHY. (TAMA BA, SECRETARY YAP?) BAWAT ISANG PACK AY MAARING MAGTAGAL NG TATLONG ARAW AT AABOT NG ISANG LINGGO KUNG ILALAGAY SA REFRIGERATOR.

NAPAPANAHON ANG PROYEKTONG ITO LALO NA’T PAPASOK ANG TAG-ULAN. ALAM NAMAN NATIN NA ANG PRESYO NG GULAY AY SADYANG TUMATAAS KAPAG TAG-ULAN LALO NA’T HINDI MADAANAN ANG VEGETABLE ROUTE MULA SA CORDILLERA, CAGAYAN VALLEY AT CENTRAL LUZON PATUNGONG MAYNILA. WITH THE MAY GULAY PROJECT, THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ENSURES A REGULAR AND STABLE SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES AS IT DEVELOPED ALTERNATIVE VEGETABLE SOURCES: THE BONDOC PENINSULA, LAGUNA AND QUEZON, ALL IN SOUTHERN TAGALOG.

KATUNAYAN AY KAGAGALING KO LANG KAHAPON SA VEGETABLE TRADING POST SA LA TRINIDAD, BENGUET. DOON, AKING NAPAG-ALAMAN NA STABLE ANG SUPPLY NG GULAY MULA SA MGA VEGETABLE PRODUCERS NG BENGUET. IYON NGA LANG, BUMALIK NA NAMAN ANG PROBLEMA NG KOTONG NA NAGPAPATAAS NG PRESYO NG GULAY. I RE-ASSURED THE BENGUET VEGETABLE PRODUCERS THAT I WILL AGAIN SEEK THE HELP OF THE NATIONAL POLICE LEADERSHIP (UNDER DIRECTOR-GENERAL ART LOMIBAO) TO ERADICATE “KOTONG” ALONG THE VEGETABLE TRADING ROUTES, WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY SIGNIFICANTLY CURTAILED LAST YEAR. I ALSO ASSURED THE VEGETABLE PRODUCERS THAT I WILL HELP THEM WITH THEIR PROBLEMS WITH THE NORTH LUZON EXPRESSWAY SYSTEM.

MGA KABABAYAN, ANG PROYEKTONG MAY GULAY AY BAHAGI LAMANG NG PANGKALAHATANG PROGRAMA NG ATING MAHAL NA PANGULO UPANG SIGURUHIN NA STABILISADO ANG SUPPLY AT PRESYO NG MGA PANGUNAHING BILIHIN SA MERKADO. NAWA’Y IPAGPATULOY NATIN ANG PAGSUPORTA SA LAYUNIN NG ANG MAHAL NA PANGULO NA LUBOS NA PAGBUTIHIN ANG KALAGAYAN NG BAWAT MAMAMAYANG PILIPINO.
