Islamic City of Marawi (21 July) -- Acting Governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) vowed support to the approach of President Benigno C. Aquino III in settling conflicts in Mindanao.
In his inaugural speech, the newly-elected President promised a sincere approach in dealing with all the peoples in Mindanao. "We are committed to a peaceful and just settlement of conflicts, inclusive of the interests of all, may they be Lumads, Bangsamoro or Christian."
The acting governor said the intention of P-Noy to work for a comprehensive peace settlement in Southern Philippines has brought fresh hope to the region.
It is heartening to know that despite the greater cynicism pervading his administration, P-Noy committed to the aspiration of a lasting peace in Mindanao, Adiong said.
Adiong also believed that P-Noy's comprehensive peace settlement, if realized, will become the defining moment of his leadership just like his mother, the late President Corazon Aquino, who has worked for the creation of the ARMM in 1989.
The President is once again on our side, Adiong proudly cited.
Governor Adiong likewise urged his constituents to support the President. "By all means, we must support him. Let us not allow selfish interest to stand in his way."
