MANILA, Philippines — The national government is set to bring the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair (BPSF) to three Mindanao provinces this May and early June.

According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez, the government has so far brought the service caravan to 18 places.

“Apat sa 18 na mga lugar at lalawigan ay nasa Mindanao,” Romualdez said in a statement on Sunday.

(Four of 18 areas are in Mindanao.)

“Halos lahat na ng rehiyon ay napuntahan na ng Serbisyo Caravan na ito, kasama ang Bukidnon, Agusan del Norte, Sultan Kudarat at Davao de Oro,” he noted.

(Almost all regions have been served by this service caravan, including Bukidnon, Agusan del Norte and Davao de Oro.)

“At sa mga susunod na mga araw at linggo, pupunta naman tayo sa Zamboanga City, Tawi-Tawi at Davao del Norte,” the lawmaker further said.

(And in the coming days, we will go to Zamboanga City, Tawi-Tawi and Davao del Norte.)

Aside from the fair, Romualdez said the House of Representatives also facilitated the distribution of the Cash and Rice Distribution (CARD) Program; the Integrated Scholarships and Incentives Program (ISIP) for the Youth; the Start-up, Investment, Business Opportunity and Livelihood (SIBOL); and the Farmers Assistance for Recovery and Modernization (FARM).
