COTABATO CITY --- There is
a new “peace landmark” in this city now frequented by Muslim, Christian and
Lumad tourists from across central Mindanao.
Congresswoman
Bai Sandra Sema of the first congressional district of Maguindanao and
representatives from the three communities inaugurated last march 6 the now
tourist attraction “Baiwalk” (baywalk).
A
project of the now outgoing third-termer congresswoman, the Baiwalk along the
picturesque and historic Tamontaka River in Cotabato City is a two-kilometer
riverbank erosion control structure and a riverside park.
The
Baiwalk is also an attraction to visitors from outside Mindanao and from abroad
who come to Cotabato City either for business and other official functions, or
for personal purposes.
The
symbolic inauguration of the Baiwalk on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, was graced by
dignitaries, among them Major Gen. Cirilito Sobejana of the Army's 6th Infantry
Division and Muslimin Sema, who is a senior official of the Moro National
Liberation Front.
Islamic
and Christian religious leaders from Cotabato City and nearby towns in
Maguindanao were also present in the event. (CONTRIBUTOR
