With a goal to help uplift the economic condition of the community through provision of paved passage facility, Sajahatra Bangsamoro and the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH) Region 12 conducted a groundbreaking ceremony that signals the start of farm to market road construction in Barangay Sumbakil, Polomolok,
The event
was held on October 28, 2015 and witnessed by representatives of Office of the
Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, Local Government Units of Polomolok,
Barangay Officials and constituents of Sumbakil.
The road
project connects Purok 1 to Purok 5. It will provide the community members
convenience in moving between the two villages.
It will
also ease the transport of agricultural products such as corn, copra, rice and
vegetables from their farmlands to the market.
DPWH has
allotted an amount of P22,830,00.75 for the said project with a target period
of completion of 127 days.
The local
officials thanked Sajahatra Bangsamoro, DPWH and the OPAPP for having Barangay
Sumbakil as the project recipient.
The program
has also been providing its target beneficiaries access to PhilHealth services
and financial assistance to deserving college students.
Sajahatra
engages with concerned government agencies such as Commission on Higher
Education, TESDA, DPWH, Department of Social Welfare and Development,
Department of Agriculture, PhilHealth and concerned LGUs in implementing its
livelihood, education and health component projects.
It is part
of the confidence building initiatives of the Government of the Philippines
(GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the Bangsamoro after the
two parties have signed the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) and the
Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB).
The MILF
has been engaged with the state for more than 17 years of peace process in
order to achieve a lasting solution to Bangsamoro questions.
The
organization accepts development interventions for the Bangsamoro communities
which have been succumbed to poverty because of the protracted conflicts and
recurrence of displacements in the past.
The Aquino
administration and the MILF is bent to establish the Bangsamoro government
through the passage of the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law which is adherent to the
CAB.
The CAB
embodies the mechanisms that shall realize the dream of the Bangsamoro people
for a self-governance and address the injustices it has experienced.
