Doon sa mga nag-aakala na kaya ko lang naisip ang pagtatag ng Samar Island Development Authority (SIDA) ay dahil tumatakbo akong Senador should know that a rural development program which I designed, Special Area for Agricultural Development introduced when I was Secretary of Agriculture had already lowered poverty incidence in the whole island.
The SAAD was first implemented in Cotabato Province when I was Governor and I can proudly claim that I personally conceptualized and designed the program.
The SAAD Program was adopted by the Department of Agriculture as a strategy to improve rural productivity to reduce poverty.
The National Economic Development Authority recognized SAAD as the most effective program in addressing rural poverty.
