Cagayan de Oro – This was the statement of Lanao del Norte Gov. Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo who was the Guest Speaker during the opening ceremonies of the Photo Exhibit and Product Showcase of  DAR-Region 10 to celebrate the 27th CARP Anniversary this year.

Gov. Dimaporo, also the Chair of the Regional Development Council said, “The DAR  is one of the frontline agencies that are working in the forgotten areas of our country.  Your ARCs (agrarian reform communities) in Lanao del Norte are located in the most remote and impoverished areas.”

He further stated, “ In these areas where other agencies backed out, that is where DAR is present.”

The acknowledgment served as a gift to the DAR personnel who were part of the audience. He further told them, “The work of the DAR in Lanao del Norte is unforgettable.  We cannot forget STARCM and ARISP which resulted to the concreting of some of the farm-to-market roads in the province.”

STARCM and ARISP were foreign-funded projects implemented in selected areas during the early part of the CARP implementation.

DAR-10 Regional Director Faisar A. Mambuay thanked Gov. Dimaporo for sharing his time and welcomed the guests who included the heads and representatives of government agencies such as DA, DENR, LBP, DTI, DPWH, CDA, PCIC and PIA.

The exhibit opened at the Foyer, 3rd Floor of Centrio Mall on June 25 and will run until June 28 where a gallery of pictures showing some projects, activities and events that made an impact on the lives of the CARP beneficiaries is on view.

Some products of the ARC coops are also on display and will be for sale to the public on June 29, Monday during the ARC Coop Summit at the Atrium, Lim Ket Kai Center. (Editha R. Salvador)
