“Siyempre ang ambisyon ko talaga matapos sa term ko. Pero hindi ito titigil hanggang talagang matapos lahat ng beneficiary na qualified, mabibigyan ng titulo. Kahit na wala na ako, titiyakin natin na patuloy pa rin ang programa na pagbigay ng titulo,” said Marcos in a media interview in South Cotabato.

(Of course my ambition is to finish this within my term. But it will not stop until all qualified beneficiaries will be given titles. Even if I am not here, we assure you that the land distribution program will continue.)

Marcos has been traveling around the country and joining in land distribution efforts to farmers.

The President said that on top of the land titles being distributed, the government will also provide the tools and infrastructure needed to help the farmers make the best use of the land.

“Mayroon tayong tulong sa fertilizer, mayroon tayong tulong sa pesticide, mayroon tayong tulong pagka nabagyo, mayroon naman nakahanda rin tayo para magbigay ng ayuda, magbigay ng AICS (Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation),” said Marcos.

(We have help in the form of fertilizer, we have help in pesticide, we have help when there are storms, we also have prepared aid, and AICS.)
