Less than 24 hours after returning from a three-country swing, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will proceed to her home province of Pampanga again on Friday.
A Malacañang statement Thursday night said Mrs. Arroyo will visit her home town of Lubao in the province's second district, and Mexico in the province's third district.
Mrs. Arroyo already visited her home province at least 26 times this year. She is rumored to be running for congresswoman there in the 2010 elections.
While Mrs. Arroyo has kept mum on her political plans, her critics accused her of planning a congressional run while her allies force Charter change to shift to a parliamentary form of government.
Under a parliamentary form of government, Mrs. Arroyo can run for prime minister.
The Palace statement said Mrs. Arroyo's Pampanga visit Friday will include presiding over a climate change and solid waste management briefing, and inspection of infrastructure development projects that would provide additional livelihood opportunities in the countryside.
She will attend the briefing at Prado Saba Elementary School in Sto. Niño village, then launch the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) "Common Tao Day."
During the celebration, the Office of the President through the PCSO will provide medical, dental, and optical services to beneficiaries. She will also join the beneficiaries for lunch.
She will inspect the Kalayaan Barangay School Building constructed by the 355th Philippine Air Force Aviation Engineering Wing for San Matias Elementary School in Barangay San Matias.
From Lubao, Mrs. Arroyo will proceed to Mexico to inaugurate a newly constructed material recovery facility (MRF) building and turn over MRF equipment under the "Unlad Saka Mula sa Basura" project to Barangay Suclaban officials.
Mrs. Arroyo returned to the country Thursday afternoon after a three-nation swing that included visits to Turkey, United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.
Upon her return with at least 120 overseas Filipino workers from Saudi Arabia, Mrs. Arroyo proceeded to Iloilo. - GMANews.TV
