Acting Governor Ibay assures continued development efforts in Shariff Kabunsuan Province

ICC Cotabato City (08 January 09) - The provincial government of Shariff Kabunsuan province remains focused on the development initiatives geared to stir the socio-economic activities in the area and improve the living condition of its residents.

Shariff Kabunsuan governor Ibrahim Ibay said, the issue on the Supreme Court decision declaring of the creation of the province as null and void, does not hamper the commitment of the provincial government to implement development projects that would redound to the benefit and welfare of the people in the area.

“Kahit wala pang decision ang Supreme Court sa aming motion for consideration, patuloy ang development initiatives sa prubinsiya,” Ibay said.

According to the governor, after giving priority to the implementation of various infrastructure projects such as farm-to-market roads, the provincial leadership would now focus on livelihood programs and projects to uplift the living condition of the people especially the poor families.

Meanwhile, the province received an ambulance and some medical equipment from the Kiwanis International for the newly constructed Shariff Kabunsuan provincial hospital.

Ibay said, he would formally request Maguindanao 1st district representative Dedagen Dilangalen to turn-over the hospital to the Shariff Kabunsuan provincial government.

He said, his constituents are grateful to Congressman Dilangalen for his continued support to the province.

Earlier, Kiwanis International has donated assorted medicines to the Shariff Kabunsuan provincial hospital. (PBC/PIA 12)
