Posted to the Mindanao Examiner (Jul 11, 2021): Beng reaffirms support to peace efforts

ZAMBOANGA CITY Mayor Beng Climaco reaffirmed her strong support to the government’s peace and development efforts and committed her administration’s unyielding campaign in preserving the peace and order here.

In virtual early this month with other local chief executives in Zamboanga Peninsula and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Climaco assured Interior Secretary Eduardo Año and Defense Assistant Secretary Angelito de Leon of the local government’s efforts in ensuring Zamboanga remains safe from all security threats.

Demonstrating her firm resolve in her administration’s three-pronged program in Security, Health and Education, Climaco said the local government will continue to support security forces in Zamboanga.

Año thanked Climaco and other mayors in Zamboanga Peninsula and BARMM for taking harder and bolder steps in the campaign against lawlessness and private armed groups in the regions.

“Patuloy ang pag-arangkada ng ating mga plataporma upang labanan ang mga banta sa ating kapayapaan at seguridad. Maraming armadong grupo pa rin ang pilit na humaharang sa ating mga hakbang.”

“Bukod sa mga terorista, rebelde at violent extremists, patuloy ang paglaganap ng private armed groups sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa at kabilang dito ang Region IX at BARMM,” he said. (Claudine Uniana, Zamboanga Post)
