6th ID turns over Maguindanao mosque in time for Rahmadan

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 17): 6th ID turns over Maguindanao mosque in time for Rahmadan

The Maguindanao-based 6th Infantry Division announced that it has turned over a newly-constructed mosque to Tukanalipao town Tuesday, well in time for the month-long Rahmadan observance which starts June 17.

The military unit was aided in this construction project by the Maguindanao provincial government and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

"The construction of the mosque was jointly ventured by the three agencies who worked day and night in order to finish the project before the Rahmadan starts," 6th Infantry Division spokesperson Capt. Jo-ann Petinglay said.

ARMM Gov. Mujiv S. Hataman was pleased to be a part of a program which he believes is the start of the influx of infrastructure projects in the area.

While Maguindanao Gov. Esmael Mangudadatu expressed gratitude for the opportunity of becoming part of this worthwhile initiative.

He said that it is always his priority to support and fund projects that will benefit the people.

And 6th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Edmundo R. Pangilinan was also pleased with the successful completion of the mosque.

He pledged to continue working for peace and progress in the region in partnership with other stakeholders. It was indeed a very promising day which brought new light to the lives of the people from Tukanalipao.

"It is hoped that the scars of the wounds created by an unfortunate incident that occurred in the area five months ago will totally be healed so that the people of Tukanalipao can celebrate Rahmadan more meaningful and peacefully," Petinglay concluded.
