“We haven’t stopped. Our brothers and sisters in Bukidnon continue to need help and it is our duty to assist them.”

This was the statement of Bukidnon 3rd District Congressman Manuel Zubiri as he personally distributed rice in Barangay Sinaysayan, Municipality of Kitaotao, Bukidnon.

Zubiri said that he has an ongoing rice distribution project which he says will “greatly help our kababayans during this crisis.”

“Kining bugas makatabang sa ilang adlaw-adlaw nga panginahanglanon (this rice will help their daily needs),” he explained.

While in Sinaysayan, Zubiri also asked for updates of his various projects for the municipality including water systems.

Zubiri, who is on his 2nd term as Bukidnon 3rd District representative, is widely believed to gun for the gubernatorial seat in next year’s election, replacing his father, Jose Ma. Zubiri, Jr. His brother, Senator Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, is up for re-election as well. The Zubiris lead the Bukidnon Paglaum Party.

When asked of his plans for the 2022 elections, Zubiri said that he would rather focus on finding solutions and coming up with projects that would benefit his constituents first.

Bukidnon 3rd District is comprised of the towns of Damulog, Dangcagan, Don Carlos, Kadingilan, Kibawe, Kitaotao, Maramag and Quezon.
