Datu Piang, Maguindanao — Residents of this town and its adjacent areas stand to benefit when the Maguindanao Provincial Hospital Datu Piang Annex is completed this year.
A total of P100 million would be spent for the new hospital with funds coming from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao’s Humanitarian and Development Assistance Program (Armm-HDAP). The project is part of the P2.233 billion total budget of the Armm-HDAP awarded by the national government through the initiative of the regional government.
Armm Governor Mujiv Hataman, along with other regional, provincial, and municipal officials, led the project’s groundbreaking ceremonies at this town’s Barangay Magaslong.
Datu Genuine Kama-ong, Datu Piang town mayor, expressed gratitude to the Armm government for building a public hospital in his town.
“Nagpapasalamat tayo dahil binigyan tayo ng isang pinaka-magandang proyekto,” Kamaong said. “Hindi na pupunta ng Midsayap (in North Cotabato province), Shariff Aguak, o Cotabato City ang mga residente ng Datu Piang at ng ibang munisipyo para lang magpagamot, dahil mayroon na tayong sariling hospital,” Kamaong added.
Abdullah Tonga, Maguindanao provincial administrator, urged the people of Datu Piang to continue supporting government projects in their town.
Armm’s HDAP aims at addressing the immediate needs of conflict-affected families as well as provide follow-through interventions in affected communities. It also aims at establishing a systematic and a coordinated approach in addressing and mitigating the effects of future disasters and calamities. (armm bpi)
