The military on Monday declared Agusan Del Norte and its
capital city of Butuan
Capt. Patrick Martinez, spokesperson of the Army's 4th
Infantry Division (4ID), said that the various peace-building efforts
undertaken by the military and the local government units (LGUs) have spurred
development in the area.
He said that the people of Agusan Del Norte and its city
deserve to enjoy the fruits of growth under a peaceful environment.
He said that the infrastructure development in the province
is now in place and Agusan Del Norte is in the “position to propel growth in
the region.”
In his message, Mayor Ferdinand M. Amante Jr., of Butuan City
Lt. Gen. Leonardo Rey Guererro, commander, Eastern Mindanao
Command (EastMinCom), said that the ceremony is the military’s “seal of our
commitment of working together to ensure a better environment for growth for
the people of this province.”
Guererro, who was the guest speaker of the ceremony, said
that the journey has just begun and urged the LGUs to continue the advocacy to
sustain the gains in socioeconomic development in the area.
Gov. Angelica Amante-Matba of Agusan Del Norte, said that
the declaration showed that attaining a “conflict-manageable condition” could
be done through the collective efforts of stakeholders.
The governor, however, said that the peace and development
efforts should continue, especially in far flung communities where the people
need to feel that the government is working for them.
