EDUCATION SOLON BELARO FETED AS OUTSTANDING CONGRESSMAN YET AGAIN

Belaro’s bills on education and Marawi’s rehab cited as relevant and significant

For the second straight year, 1-Ang Edukasyon Party-list Representative Salvador Belaro, Jr. was recognized as Outstanding Congressman by the same reputable arbiter organization for his legislative output and exemplary advocacies.

“To be among the fifteen Outstanding Congressmen out of the current 294 members of the House is indeed an honor and a tribute to the voters who choose to cast their lot with 1-Ang Edukasyon Party-list,” according to Belaro.

The education solon said the award from Superbrands Marketing International, Inc. is especially significant this year because of the very significant bills he had filed during the year.

“We do our best to file bills and resolutions with substance, relevance, and that are forward-looking. I am particularly proud of our measures to help the people of Marawi recover from terrorism because early on we already pushed for education as the long term solution to the underlying causes of the Battle of Marawi,” Belaro also said.

In June 2017, Belaro filed House Bill 5833 “Rebuilding and Transformation of Marawi City into a city of Peace, Friendship, and Progress.” The bill provides for initial funding of P20 billion for the rehabilitation of Marawi at the time when the city was being being destroyed because of the invasion of heavily-armed extremist Maute-ISIS terrorist forces and the resulting armed conflict.

In July 2017, Belaro filed House Bill 6010 aiming to create Marawi City Polytechnic College and establishes it as a component college of the Mindanao State University which will get P300M initial budget. Belaro envisions the Polytechnic College to serve as an economic and education catalyst at the heart of Marawi City.

Superbrands, in its citation article for Belaro said 1-Ang Edukasyon is “one of the most productive parties in the 17th Congress.”

“Today, after only around one and a half years in office, he has already filed a total of 481 bills and resolutions, 200 of which are of principal authorships and are mostly relating to education and 281 by way of co-authorships,” Superbrands noted.

The award-giving body also took note of Belaro’s humble beginnings as the son of a farmer and a public school teacher.

Superbrands said, “he walks his talk as his life exemplifies how a provincial boy like him used his education not only for his personal upliftment but also for the good of the country.”

Belaro is a valedictorian from Catagbacan, Goa, Camarines Sur. He was a 1985 National Outstanding Youth Researcher. Belaro went to the University of the Philippines as a state scholar where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (cum laude) and thereafter, his Bachelor of Laws degree. He also obtained his Master of Laws from Cornell University in New York, U.S.A. . From 2012 to 2015, he served as Commissioner of the Commission on Bar Discipline of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. (END)
