Marawi City (9 July) -- Provincial Governor of Lanao del Sur Mamintal 'Bombit' Adiong Jr. urged his constituents to support his moral revival efforts to attain permanent and long lasting peace in the province.
The Governor made the statement during the recently concluded golden anniversary celebration of the province stressing the importance of people's cooperation in achieving peace.
"I implore my constituents and fellow leaders to support our moral revival program because no amount of moral recovery efforts can change Lanao del Sur without the cooperation of its people. I cannot do it alone," he stressed.
He also made assurance of his sincerity and dedication toward the end emphasizing that it is his unwritten but enforceable covenant to the Maranao community and the people of Lanao del Sur.
Many antagonist, Adiong said, consider this move illusive, but for me with extra effort and patience we will achieve this goal in no time.
"As long as I have the opportunity of leading my people, rest assured of my sincerity and dedication on this moral revolution that we are fighting for today," he added.
Moreover, the Provincial Governor proudly cited that during the past two years of his administration, he has successfully met his 7-point agenda on productive infrastructure, economic development, youth-related programs, commitment on environmental issues, transparency in all government actions, promotion of tourism and cultivation of a culture of peace.
The struggle for peace and development was a tough one but I stood firm in overcoming the hard realities and transformed them into fruitful ones, he further said.
I have made the Provincial Capitol a catalyst of change and rest assured that under my leadership, we will lead the way for a better and more progressive Lanao del Sur, he added.
The adoption of moral renewal program is in response to President Arroyo's Administrative Order 255 directing heads of government agencies to implement moral renewal and values formation program. (Apipa P Bagumbaran / PIA)
