Duterte promised to treat all Filipinos equal, including those who are living in Mindanao.
As part of promise to give equal treatment for all Filipinos, President Rodrigo Duterte vowed to give equal share of the national wealth of the Philippines to Mindanao.
On Saturday, Duterte was in Cotabato for the launching of the Comprehensive Reform and Development Agenda.
“We will treat you equally. I will see to it that the Moros, Christians or the Igorots will be treated alike,” he said in a speech delivered.
“You will have your equal share of the national wealth,” he added.
Duterte said Mindanao was rich in natural resources and could “develop to its fullest extent.”
“Mindanao holds a promise in agriculture. You will be the richest,” he said.
In order to help them in their livelihood, the chief executive said he would provide agricultural equipment to the farmers in Mindanao to they can use it without spending big amount.
“Bigyan ninyo ako ng konting panahon. I will improve the Moro land Mindanao,” he said.
The Presidente also mentioned again that a businessman had pledged to donate P1 billion, which would be used to construct a hospital in Basilan. According to him, the medical facility would be completed next year.
The President noted that despite his dreams for the region, insurgency had hindered the development in Mindanao.
Southern Philippines has been a bailiwick of Moro National Liberation Front, Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Abu Sayyaf (who are tagged to series of kidnapping in the region).
He reiterated his appeal to the Moros and the communist rebels in the region stop waging war against fellow Filipinos. He also made the same call to the bandit group Abu Sayyaf.
“Hintuan niyo na yan. So much hatred. Stop it,” he said.
He also vowed to reduce the high incidence of hunger in Mindanao. “I want the incidence of hunger stopped,” he said.
Duterte ordered Social Welfare Secretary Judy Taguiwalo to study the high incidence of hunger in the region.
