Banga’s White Carabao - "Bagsakan Center" for the products of the farmers, fisherfolks, food processors and other producers. According to report, the land is owned by the Aklan State University while the building was erected with the use of P3 million from former Congresswoman Billie V. Calizo’s Countryside Development Fund.
The project is almost finished except for additional furnishings needed if put into operation. However, until today, about two years after its completion, the "Bagsakan" is still idle.
It is fast becoming a white carabao or Albino. Albino is white because it is devoid of skin coloring. Unless made functional it will continue to be "white carabao".
This Albino will become operational, useful and productive if its management and operation will be entrusted to a competent and reliable, which are many in Aklan, non-government organization.
Of course it is not for free. ASU may lease it to an NGO at a mutually agreeable and beneficial terms and conditions. For LGU Banga, it may serve as alternative market. Banga will derive income from it, out of permits and licenses it will issue to the stallholders and businessmen. Banga will also get more income from large animals and hogs that will be slaughtered in its abattoir. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
