The Fourth District of Negros Occidental has been declared
"peaceful and ready for further development" during Wednesday’s 1st
Quarter meeting of the Provincial Peace and Order Council at the Capitol Social
Hall here.
The resolution was approved by the PPOC declaring the Fourth
District located in southern Negros as such.
Mayors from La Carlota City, Pontevedra, San Enrique and
representatives of the mayors of Bago, Valladolid
Earlier, Cadiz
City
Mayors Juliet Ferrer of La Carlota City, Mario Magno of San
Enrique, and Jose Benito Alonso of Pontevedra personally signed the
declaration, with Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr., Col. Jon Aying, commander of
the Army's 303rd Brigade, and Undersecretary Maria Cleofe Gettie Sandoval of
the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process as witnesses.
Based on the security situation assessment of both the Armed
Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police, the occurrence of
violence, criminality, insurgency, and subversion has become negligible and
isolated, thus the areas have established an enabling environment for economic
development.
Marañon said he hopes that with the declaration, the Fourth
District as well as the whole province will encourage more investors to set up
business here.
"There will be no development if there is no
peace," the governor said.
