Senator Trillanes turns over gym, vehicles to Tacurong City




Senator Antonio ‘Sonny’ Trillanes led the symbolic turn-over ceremony of the Tacurong city gymnasium to Mayor Lina O. Montilla, Vice Mayor Joseph George Lechonsito, and Sangguniang Panlungsod members, March 31.

The senator as well turned over eighteen vehicles to the city’s barangay officials.

In 2012, when he was invited as the Guest of Honor in the city’s Barangay Day, Senator promised to allocate funds for the completion of the Tacurong City Gymnasium and at the same time promised to provide utility vehicles for the different barangays in the city. A year later, a 5 million-peso allocation was given for the implementation of the said pledge.

“We will not be tired in helping Tacurong City,” said Senator Trillanes as he spoke among the civil servants of Tacurong during the LGU’s the flag raising ceremony, March 31.

In 2011, Trillanes allocated P5 million for the construction of the Tacurong City Medical and Dental Center.

In his message, Senator Trillanes reported that he is among the signatories of the Salary Standardization Law 3 that endeavours to increase the benefits of the civil servants in the country. He also told Mayor Montilla, “If there are more proposed projects from your city, my office will always be waiting.” He further explained that despite the abolition of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), he will find a way to extend help for the city.


He is among the most productive members of the senate, who ranked 4th before the 2013 senatorial elections with more than 30 senate bills passed into law. He also ranked second among senators with most number of national bills sponsored and committee hearings conducted.

Senator Trillanes’ visit to Tacurong was also in time with the commencement exercises of the Sultan Kudarat State University where he was the invited speaker. (LGU-Tacurong City Information)
