Mindanao Railway System

Duterte, Cayetano visit GenSan, pledge to enforce crackdown on illegal fishing, push for Mindanao railway system
 
As part of their nationwide tour, the tandem of presidential contender Davao City Mayor Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte and vice presidential candidate Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano visited General Santos City on Saturday and presented their platform of government before the province's sectoral leaders.
 
In a town hall meeting held at the city's plaza, the tandem said they will push for strategic reforms in the tuna/fish exporting industry, such as the crackdown on illegal fishing and better labor and transport commodities for Filipinos in the south.
 
"Sawa na ang tao sa araw-araw na pahirap at gulo. Tama na ang hindi matapos-tapos na konsumisyon. Ang kailangan ng tao ay matapang na solusyon at mabilis na aksyon," Duterte said.
 
"To keep the industry vibrant, we must protect our maritime resources. I will enforce a crackdown on illegal fishers, unregulated and unreported fishing, especially from foreign vessels. Those who will be caught will be penalized severely. They will wriggle like fish caught on dry land," Duterte added.
 
Duterte also reiterated his pledge to wage a war against crime and corruption, especially on illegal drugs. He even urged the public to kill him if he cannot resolve heinous crimes and illegal drugs within the first six months of his administration if elected president.
 
“If I succeed perhaps that would be my greatest contribution to the country, but if I fail, kill me,” Duterte said.
 
Fixed wages, hazard pay for handline fishermen
 
For his part, Cayetano said he and Duterte will ensure safe working conditions and fixed wages for handline fishermen.
 
"Ang ating mga mangingisda ay binabayaran depende sa huli nilang isda. Kung walang huli, walang kita. Mas malala, wala na ngang kita, nalalagay pa sa panganib ang kanilang mga buhay. Hindi pupwede ito," Cayetano said.
 
"Under a Duterte-Cayetano government, our fishermen, who provide food on our tables, will be paid twice the daily minimum wage in the region and recieve hazard pay. This is on top of the commissions which they will get from their catch," Cayetano added.
 
Establishment of a Mindanao Railway System
 
The tandem also renewed their commitment to complete the Mindanao Railway System to make it easier to transfer food commodities from Mindanaoan agricultural areas to places like General Santos. Cayetano said the proposal is part of their platforms on promoting inclusive growth through regional development and equality under the law.
 
"Sa ngayon, halos lahat ng budget nasa Metro Manila. Ang inyong region, wala pang P100 Billion ang budget. Samantalang ang Metro Manila, P1 Trillion ang nakukuhang pera. Maaasahan niyo na sa isang Duterte-Cayetano tandem, mayroong Mindanao Railway system, andiyan ang pondo, authority, at tiwala ng lahat ng Pilipino sa bawat region, at ang sinasabing equality under the law, lahat takot sa batas pero lahat may proteksyon sa batas," Cayetano told the crowd.
 
The duo started going around the country for their nationwide tour dubbed as "Hamon ng Pagbabago," where the tandem presents their proposed programs, including phasing out contractualization, doubling the salaries of public school teachers, expanding scholarship grants and providing a living wage to workers.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
