COTABATO CITY- The local
government unit of Shariff Aguak in Maguindanao is bound to pursue
socio-economic endeavours to uplift the living condition of the town constituents.
Cashmer D. Ampatuan, municipal information officer,
said they are delighted to announce that the road widening in the national
highway is on its way for completion in few weeks’ time.
“The road widening is from Barangay Poblacion to the
boundary in Barangay Labulabu,” he said.
Ampatuan added that they have also loaned farm
equipment and dump trucks that stand to benefit the town folks in terms of
economic support.
“Monthly allowance is also given to social
pensioners or the elderly aging 70 and up,” he said.
In its fight against drug abuse, he said the
municipal government just finished a random drug test among the LGU personnel,
town officials, and barangay chairmen.
“We are glad to inform you that none of them were found
positive,” he said.
Ampatuan said they are currently strengthening the
municipal anti-drug abuse campaign. “In fact, we have at least 330 drug users
who surrendered to local authorities. We monitor their daily routines and we
are giving them livelihood assistance to fully turn their backs out of drugs.
We also engage them into sports activities,” he said.
