DAGUPAN CITY – The
vice presidential tandem of presidential front runner Rodrigo Duterte disclosed
he would accept any government position that would be offered to him under the
Duterte’s Administration.

For several years,
Cayetano had been shuttling back and forth the country to help the marginalized
sector through his ballyhooed Presyo-Trabaho-Kita (PTK) program.
In Pangasinan alone he
gave an average of P150 thousand to every marginalized sector like transport
group and fish vendors to alleviate their plight and prevent them borrowing
to usurers who dangle a 5-6 or 20 percent interest a month money credit.
Cayetano not only give
monies for free but add another tranche if he sees the recipients have invested
it wisely for their benefit.
“Alam mo naman meron akong proyekto na
nakakatulong sa ating kababayan all over I won’t mind continuing”.
PTK was a “passionate”
program of Cayetano after he won the 2013 senatorial election where he could
personally address the daily problems of the Filipinos in dealing with
inflation, unemployment, and low income.
PTK, he said, is also
his advocacy to fight against any and all forms of inefficiency, graft and
corruption.
