  1. Sa namahala po ng NLSF,

    Maaari po banag malaman kung ang aming Presidenteng si Mrs. Maria Belen hernandez ay nagfile o naghulog sainyo ng aming mga contribution sa Mahal Foundation Inc. sa project for livelihood program to Camarines sur Chapter. Nais lang po naming mga myembro na maintindihan kung ang aming pinaghirapan ay may patutunguhan sa project na nasabi.

    Hihintayin po namin ang inyong balita ukol dito. Matagal na po namin itong hinihintay. Sa totoo lang gusto ko na pong pumunta ng maynila para derechong magtanong sa inyong tanggapan kaya lang po di po namin alam ang inyong opisina at wala pa kaming balita sa aming kontribusyon.

    Hiling po namin at ng aming mga kasmahan ang inyong madaliang kasagutan sa aming tanong.

    maraming salamat po.

  5. To whom this may concern please:
    Kindly assist us in searching the details of the loan granted by your agency about 8 to 10 years ago for a piggery project in Barangay Villa Santos,Munoz (Science City of Munoz now), Nueva Ecija in the amount of about P400,000.00.Said loan was arranged and had approved by Former Sangguniang Bayan Member Mauricio Corpuz In coordination with a “Male Korean Consultant and a Lady” whose names we cannot recall but we’re in the process of checking this out.
    Please help us because a parcel of land serving as collateral is nowhere to be found and the owner, Mr. Jose “Peping” Domingo is very worried about the plight of his land.

    The borrowers are willing to pay said loan in exchange for the land title. Please give this matter your priority attention.

    Thank you very much !
