"Butchoy Taojo engages in aid efforts for the people of Modaug"
Let's talk about the fiery speech by Noe "Butchoy" Taojo at the Miting de Avance in Pantukan, Davao de Oro, held on Sunday evening, May 4, 2025.
This passionate and heartfelt appeal by Butchoy went beyond the usual politicking, making it clear that his aspiration to become a congressman for the Second District wouldn't deter him from helping the minority groups, indigenous people, and students.
"Whether I become a congressman or not, I will continue to implement the programs I have been spearheading. Above all, I stand by my commitment to aid the indigenous people and the young ones who long for education," Taojo declared emphatically.
Interestingly, Butchoy’s entry into politics isn't merely for self-interest but to extend his hands of assistance across the entire province.
"We've been serving for years, even before stepping into politics. My goal: unity among leaders and citizens. We don't discriminate, for service knows no boundaries," he added determinedly.
Often acting as the helping hand without a title, Butchoy gleefully admitted that his support remains steadfast, regardless of whether he claims a position or not.
"I was born for the people. I aspire to contribute to Pantukan, but my help isn't limited to the elections," Taojo reiterated sincerely.
Joining forces on the platform are Congressman Ruwel Peter Gonzaga, running for governor, and Governor Dorothy "Dotdot" Gonzaga, contesting for the vice-governorship. Taojo expressed optimism for a new hope in Davao de Oro, symbolizing support for genuine service.
"Remember, I'm just a man with a story and a job. Let's not complicate things," Taojo concluded with conviction. (PR)
