DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 04 October) – A retired professor who is running for second district city councilor said he will use his expertise to improve the city’s agriculture and manufacturing sectors.

Antonio Amberda, the first to file his certificate of candidacy (COC) from the second district, said he will focus more on the “supply chain, particularly the marketing side and intervention, particularly on the pre-production side.

“Soon,” Aberda, a former part-time Business Administration professor at Ateneo de Davao University and former University of Mindanao professor, said when asked to elaborate on his platform.

“I hope the people of the second district will vote for me…

(to) maybe come up a new idea on how politics must achieve some kind of improvement in the community,” he told reporters Thursday afternoon.

As of 9:30 a.m. Friday, no other candidate from the second district had filed a COC. No candidate for the House of Representatives had filed as well.
