Greetings!

This is an auspicious moment for me to write to you, an august body, our leaders, the Sanguniang Bayan.

I am a man of short words, I will write as I speak.

We, at PAGTATAP - USA, have been a strong supporter of our hometown for the last 15 years. Our Association's GOAL is to help the people of Pandan, to support its elective officials, help the youth, raise funds to augment the town's budget for the fiesta, give financial support to the yearly Medical Mission, provide scholarships for the poor yet deserving students and every now and then give financial assistance to those who qualify. This is the very essence of the existence of PAGTATAP - USA. In short, our basic objective is the enhancement of the living condition of the people of Pandan.

Enhancement means, making it better.

Putting up NAPOCOR in Patria is contrary to what we believe as betterment of the living conditions of the people of Patria and the townspeople of Pandan as well. Diesel-run power plant is antiquated, disease causing and very harmful to the environment. Currently, a handful of people in Pandan are dying of Cancer. Do we want to add more to that statistics?

Let NAPOCOR buy a better plant like solar run or wind run. These are the modern-day power plants. Let Pandan be NOT the repository of old discarded power plants.

We should not allow NAPOCOR to use Pandan as their guise to get million dollar loans, which will end up not in the hands of the people, but rather in the pockets of someone else.

Let us not be naive, NAPOCOR is a losing proposition.

True to our desire to help, we will provide you with various research papers that you can use in your decision making process. We believe in your wisdom, we elected you to the post, rather our relatives elected you to that post. You owe it to the people.

We say NO to the diesel power plant.

Sincerely,


(SGD.) DALMACIO D. ALOJIPAN
President
PAGTATAP - USA
