Power crisis dims Mindanao’s promise

No amount of assurance from the government will mask the fact that Mindanao is in the clutches of a power crisis that threatens to sap the region’s potential as the next growth hub.

The present administration has grand plans for Mindanao once a final peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front is signed. A host of projects are in the pipeline, just waiting for the security situation in the region to improve. When that happens, Mindanao will live up to its reputation as the Land of Promise.
