"We are lucky because we are one of the most peaceful locations in the province and also that help from the Provincial Government is coming straight to the people of Pontevedra," Alonso said.
Several barangays like Antipolo, Cambarus, Canroma and Recreo are expected to benefit from the funds allocated to the four barangays totaling to almost P840,000.
As per the public information office of Pontevedra, a total of 21 projects are set to be implemented in each and every barangay of the municipality by next year.

He has also been particular on the education concern of the residents, donating several school equipments like computers and textbooks to several elementary and high schools in the town. "Education should be prioritized because it is the only key in opening the great door of success and opportunities in the future."
