‘I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Love’ - Hipolito D. Penn to 7D
Political pundits say Mr Penn is currently the only one so far, on the NDP 1 campaign trail to give a clear roadmap of his plans especially in the area of developing the fishing industry.
Relatable
Mr Penn, seen as the most relatable grassroots person on the campaign trail with a clean tongue compared to that of Party Chairman, Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL), was officially launched in Long Look on Tuesday, February 5, 2019, a community where the support was overwhelming.
He told those gathered that the late Hon Lettsome better known as ‘TB’ was just an ordinary man with exceptional love for his people and country.
“His name remains on the minds of the people of the 7th district for his courageous leadership, love, compassion, empathy and truth which is lacking in this district today. It is for this very reason I offer myself as a candidate for the 7th district. It is often said if you don’t love people you can’t lead or represent people,” he told those gathered.
Degree in love
Making his intentions of greatness for his people known, he said, “Hon TB Lettsome has a Master’s Degree in Love for his people. I Hipolito Diego Penn have a Bachelor’s Degree in Love for you my people of the 7th district, but with your vote to send me to the next House of Assembly as your representative, I will attain my Master’s Degree in the four years I am allotted.”
Giving a road map of his plans that will see the district develop with spin-off effects for the entire territory, he tapped in on the fishing industry which according to him, has been neglected.
He said that neglect has caused hardship on the local fishermen and people looking for a source of protein, something he intends to fix once elected to office.
The BVI with its abundance of fishery resources has tremendous potential for the development of a local sports fishing industry he said. “The economic impact on the economy for the BVI from [the] development of a recreational fishing industry will total $4 million for eight months,” he said.
