Several international and local humanitarian
organizations working in the ARMM and in Mindanao marked the celebration of the
United Nation's (UN) World Humanitarian Day (WHD) on Friday, August 19, 2016.
Mukhtar Farah, UN OCHA Cotabato Office head,
said the WHD was aimed at "recognizing the humanitarian workers who have
risked their lives in order to provide humanitarian assistance of people around
the world - those who are in need."
Atty. Laisa Alamia, ARMM executive secretary,
said the ARMM "will continue to improve its mechanisms of support and
response in all cases of humanitarian cases through the support and help of our
partners."
The organizations also commended the ARMM
government for its valuable humanitarian aid provided to the needy in the ARMM
through its Humanitarian Emergency Action Response Team.
The celebration was hosted by the ARMM and
was initiated by the Mindanao Humanitarian Team headed by UN Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. A week-long photo exhibit was also opened
today at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex at the region's seat in
Cotabato City. (BUREAU OF PUBLIC
