The next day, I met with their head during the NEDA Board Meeting. His excuse: 40 percent of the target areas were located in Mindanao and were devastated by Typhoon Pablo, thus the delay.
Ang sabi niya sakin, Sir, ang dahilan kaya 60 percent lang, 40 percent daw po kasi ng target nila ay nasa Mindanao, bagyong Pablo ang dumating at tinamaan kaya na-delay sila ng 40 percent.
