“Such trying times demand the cooperation of the people, their sacrifice and their patience in order to continuously push for national development across all sectors,” he added.

“We can do our best by further developing ourselves and Albay… Magtarabangan kita na pauswagon an satuyang Probinsya! Arriba Albay,” said Bichara.
