Jono: My parent’s have done so much for Inabanga. From a 4th class municipality, it has become 3rd class. We have so much successful projects like the environment conservation RM, the loom-weaving industry (OTOP), wet-land conservation awards. My focus is to fully address the problem of poverty which is related to livelihood and population control.

You chose these two priorities?

Jono: Failure to attend to the issues on population would result in more problems in the society like the food shortage and education, vices, social and health problems like drug addiction and malnutrition. On the other hand, my focus in livelihood would answer the problem on poverty. With the booming loom-weaving industry, we will look for ways to link with good exporters that would give good price to the products. In my theory, we just have to start off with those projects and everything else will follow.
