CANLAON CITY, Negros Oriental, Nov. 8 (PIA) -- “Kon walay kalinaw, walay kalambuan, kon walay kaugmaran, walay kalinaw (If there’s no peace, there’s no development, and vice versa)," emphasized Gov. Roel Degamo in his message for residents of insurgency-affected Brgy. Budlasan in a Dagyawan sa Barangay held Thursday in Canlaon City.
Degamo's message was through Provincial Information Officer Bimbo Miraflor who represented the governor during the Dagyawan.
The governor pledged to provide projects and livelihood assistance to Brgy. Budlasan with the support of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
“While we are confronted by the faceless enemy that is COVID 19 for the past eight months, moving forward, we should not forget that we have a very enterprising enemy for more than 50 years now under the name of the CPP- NPA-NDF,” stated Degamo in his message as read by Miraflor.
The governor also emphasized that governance is a shared responsibility as peace is a community effort.
For her part, Cong. Josy Limkaichong of the 1st district expressed her support to end local communist armed conflict (ELCAC), saying that the government is serious in putting an end to armed conflict by allocating budget for ELCAC activities.
Limkaichong said with the support of Congress, a total of P16. 5-B for ELCAC has been approved for 2021.
“That is a big leap if we talk about helping the conflict affected areas. This is a general commitment of government and I hope the people of Budlasan will help spread the word na seryoso kaayo atong gobyerno sa pagtabang ug supporta sa atong gi tawag ug end of conflict (the government is serious in giving support to ending armed conflict),” said Limkaichong.
Provincial Director Johnjoan Mende of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) also shared that achieving peace and development is is the time to listen, talk, and cooperate or “pagtinabangay unsa man ang mga panginahanglan sa kumonidad, unsaon natu pagtabang ang matag usa (to help whatever are the needs in the community, and how we can assist each other)."
Mende urged the national and local government agencies to consider the concerns of Brgy. Budlasan for planning and budgeting.
The top officials concurred that development cannot happen without peace, and likewise there will be no peace without development.
Canlaon City Mayor Jose Cardenas expressed their commitment to help the affected barangays to provide programs and projects for the benefit of the people regardless of their political affiliation.
“We will compete for the betterment of our nation, we will compete for the betterment of our LGU, we will compete for the betterment of our ELCAC barangays,” said Cardenas. (jct/PIA7 Negros Oriental)
