Lumbatan, Lanao del Sur (19 March) -- Lanao del Sur Governor Mamintal 'Bombit' Adiong Jr. expressed gratitude to President Arroyo for all the programs and projects undertaken by her administration spurring positive growth in the province.
He said the President has allocated funds for infrastructure development particularly farm-to-market roads and irrigation systems that provided means for farmers to be more productive ensuring food security in the province.
She has placed anti-poverty measures as the centerpiece of her political platforms that is why we in the local government were able to effectively cascade the delivery of basic social services to our constituents, Adiong added.
The Governor further cited the social assistance programs of the national government in which the province is one of the beneficiaries.
Lanao del Sur is beneficiary to such social services of the national government including the monthly stipends for the elderly more known as the Katas ng VAT, Pera Para kay Lolo at Lola; the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps for the marginalized families through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD); school feeding program of the Department of Education (DepEd), free vaccination of the Department of Health (DOH); and training scholarships through the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Adiong further cited.
