A top-notch and multi-awarded local young leader has made a smile in the faces of tricycle operators in Tarlac province, that is amid the ongoing war in Middle East that caused surged in oil prices.
According to a story by Taga Tarlac Ka Kung, Chairperson Renz Gandol can’t stop himself in tears after finding out the status of tricycle drivers.
“Hindi ko po napigilang maiyak nung mapanood ko yung video sa TikTok tungkol sa kalagayan ng mga tricycle drivers natin. Mas lalo pang nadurog ang puso ko sa balita na halos wala na silang maiuwi sa pamilya dahil sa sobrang taas ng presyo ng gasolina.”
Gandol added that he understands the situation especially that he is a son of a trike driver. While he saw the smile in the faces of his initiative’s beneficiaries, he thanked them for the chance to serve.
“Sobrang grateful po ako sa kanilang mga pasasalamat, pero ang totoo, ako po ang dapat magpasalamat sa pagkakataong makapaglingkod.”
“Asahan niyo pong patuloy akong maninindigan sa aking mandato at hangga’t may pagkakataon, patuloy akong magbabahagi ng blessings sa mas marami pa nating kababayan at ka-brgy.”
Turns out, the fund he used to help comes from his own pocket. He combined his P5,000.00 earnings on social media Facebook, and got from his salary as chairperson.
With this, he was able to provide libreng gas to more than 100 tricycle drivers. “Ang pondong ginamit natin dito ay personal ko pong pinag-ipunan, kalahati ay galing sa aking sahod sa barangay at kalahati ay mula sa aking kinita sa Facebook.
