Thoroughly implement the ARMM law
|
|
Most non-Muslim Filipinos who are concerned about social justice and
how to make the Philippines a happier and more prosperous country
agree that the majority of our Moro brothers and sisters must be
given all the help possible to rescue them from poverty, to raise
their educational level and improve their health and longevity.
The main objective of the creation of the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is in the final analysis
to bring the blessings of good health, progress, education and
prosperity to our Muslim compatriots in the ARMM provinces. It’s a
great shame, which can only be blamed on the national government as
well as the ARMM’s regional and local government officials, that
these foundational goals of the ARMM have not been substantially
achieved 12 years after the FPA was signed.
