CEBU CITY, Philippines – Representative Vincent Franco Frasco has assured his opponents in the fifth district of Cebu that their political differences will not be a hindrance in the implementation of projects and the delivery of government services in the area.
Frasco made a promise to ensure that government assistance will reach each and every resident of the district including those who did not support his candidacy in the May 2019 election.
On Friday, February 14, Frasco led the groundbreaking of a P10 million road concreting project in Barangay Suba in Danao City.
The project covers a presently unpaved road that connects Barangays Suba and Taytay in the city.
“Despite the local political differences and push back from local/brgy officials, Board (Member) Red Duterte and I are planning for more projects for the city and people of Danao,” Frasco wrote as a caption to the photos of the groundbreaking ceremony which he posted on his social media page.
Danao City is a bailiwick of the Duranos, Frasco’s political rival in the district.
