Residents of Bohol, Philippines, are expressing their gratitude to the 1Pacman Party-list for increasing the budget for the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). This program helps low-income families, and the budget boost aims to assist more people in need in 2025. Milka Romero, the first nominee of 1Pacman Party-list, received messages of thanks from beneficiaries at an outreach event in Tagbilaran City. She emphasized the importance of ongoing support for the 4Ps program as the next budget season approaches. Romero is actively involved in social programs and is the daughter of Rep. Mikee Romero, who played a key role in implementing the 4Ps Law. Rep. Romero has successfully worked to increase the 4Ps budget by P7.8 billion in the past year, which expanded support for families facing poverty. Over the years, 1Pacman has sponsored many laws, including ones that enhance workers’ rights in the entertainment industry and establish a national sports training center. Milka Romero is also known for her achievements in sports and leadership. She manages two professional sports teams and promotes youth development through sports. At the Tagbilaran event, she encouraged young people to value their friendships formed through sports and community activities. She highlighted the importance of addressing various community needs, including education, health, and job opportunities, to foster a more active and engaged society. Romero also took part in a local wedding program for inmates and participated in events honoring the city's patron saint and a historic commemoration.
