DAVAO ORIENTAL October 8, 2014 - As peace makes significant headway
in Davao Oriental, the provincial government highlighted the positive
effect it has made in boosting local economic development, during the
culmination of the Peace Month Celebration on Tuesday, September 30.
Vice Governor Joel ‘Mayo’ Z. Almario lauded the unceasing efforts of
the Provincial Local Government Unit, under the leadership of Gov.
Corazon N.Malanyaon, who evidently made Davao Oriental a promising hub
for business.
According to the vice governor, the ‘insurgency-free’ state here
attracted more prospects for investment of large businesses. In his
message, he cited one giant corporate hotel in the country that has been
eyeing the province for a possible business expansion.
Aside from that, massive local developments through provincial
government initiatives have been drawing more businesses to locate here
as the provincial government has been expediting projects touted to
support economic revolution, particularly on tourism and agriculture.
Among these many initiatives are the tourism facility development in
different sites around the province, including the Aliwagwag Protected
Landscape and the recently UNESCO-inscribed property—the Mt. Hamiguitan
Range Wildlife Sanctuary. Another initiative is the big-ticket
irrigation project in Cateel touted to boost agricultural productivity.
Given that, the Vice Governor Almario urged people to support these
endeavors as ‘it triggers more economic and social opportunities.
Meanwhile, Governor Corazon N. Malanyaon, in a message conveyed by
Provincial Administrator, Alex Lipae, said that investing in peace
efforts is truly a rewarding one as it elicits development for the
people.
“I have always expressed my twin goals of peace and development for
Davao Oriental because I strongly believe that there can never be
sustainable development if there is no peace and we cannot attain true
peace without development,” she said.
