BARANGAY 13 Punong Barangay Franklin Andre Familiaran is among the few village leaders who lead their constituents beyond their mandates.
He thought of many directions in confronting the challenges caused by coronavirus disease instead of dwelling on the problem.
Covid-19 has set everyone in distress but for Kap Andre; he has his unique ways of doing things to rise above the occasion.
His barangay has been a recipient of so many gifts from good Samaritans who share his burden of securing food for thousands of his constituents who were restricted and told to stay home during the enhanced community quarantine.
Barangay funds were limited and not enough to cater to the needs of his people. But since many have noticed how hard working he is, the grace and blessings came in pouring.
Aside from the food packs that he provided to his constituents which is already on its 6th wave, he also held a raffle draw to his constituents with amazing prizes that include 14 electric fans, seven rice cookers, two sacks of rice (25 kilos each), one premium organizer, one gasulito, three BMX bikes, four Samsung phones, one DVD player, five lions park gift check P1,000 each, one pedicab (trisikad), a 32-inch TV and 500 food packs.
