From the Manila Bulletin (Nov 2): Peace projects
At least seven projects under the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) were completed in the conflict-affected towns of Maguindanao.
The projects include the newly-built multi-purpose building in the villages of Bugasan-Norte in Matanog, and Datu Anggal in Midtimbang, the bailey bridge and an agricultural warehouse with solar dryer in Barangay Kabuling in Pandag, and the farm-to-market road in Barangay Bugasan Norte of Matanog.
The Maguindanao provincial government, in partnership with OPAPP, is also constructing a two-storey Women’s Center in Poblacion, Buluan.
OPAPP records show that these villages are all communities of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) identified under the Government of the Philippines-MNLF final peace accord signed in September, 1996.
Maguindanao Governor Esmael Mangudadatu said the PAMANA projects are aimed at helping communities cope with poverty and underdevelopment.
The OPAPP data also showed that the PAMANA projects in the Maguindanao towns are not only benefiting the MNLF communities, but also combatants of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
