Governor Nava assured that the assistance for the barangays will continue and thanked them for their cooperation for the realization of the projects under the Kabataan FIRST agenda.

“This will not be the last nga support. Amo na bala, biskan gamay-gamay lang, importante makahatag lang kami sa inyo. Ginapangayo lang namon sa inyo nga komplimentaran ta ang ini nga program so, it may be for capacity building sang kabataan, it can be infrastructure that would bring more purpose sa aton kabataan. So, I’m looking forward sa daku pa gid nga partnership with the barangay government or mga barangays naton. Sa liwat nagapasalamat ang Provincial Government, si Cong. Lucille, sa aton nga mga kabarangayan, sa aton nga mga barangay officials, aton kapitanes nga ang tanan-tanan nga ini natuman naton tungod man sa inyo hugot nga kooperasyon,” Governor Nava said.

“Gintindugan namon diri ang agenda subong ni Gov kag amon man, is Kabataan FIRST. So, nabal-an naman ninyo siguro nga kun nakita ninyo ang tanan namon nga mga payouts, tanan namon nga mga projects gear towards the development and improvement sang kabataan ta. So, ang ginapangabay lang namon sa tanan naton nga kapitanes nga sa subong ang tanan naton nga panumdumon always it should be always para sa kabataan ta. Nakita niyo naman siguro kun ano na ang natapos naton nga mga proyekto tungod man sa suporta ninyo,” Congresswoman Nava added.
