Philippine Marine Peace Corps General Benjamin Mohammad Dolorfino of Wesmincom

If every body preaching peace through out Mindanao regions I think there is no reason without achieving peaceful transition towards genuine peaceful co-existence living side-by-side in one home of over 40 years of Mindanao conflicts under the banner headlines ‘PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA’.

The good General has started in Basilan-Dolorfino sets United Front for Peace, Development and Security in Basilan for the full implementation of E.O. 773 creating the Provincial Internal Security Coordinating Center (PISCC).

There are points is so relevant in the quest for Basilan peace agenda, the role of the armed forces, the role of the local government and the role of the people. If you try to analyze in a broader terms for a wider scopes, it sounds this is the real government could change into meaningful genuine reform of public governance that majority are incline to be a part of government institutions. But the question To Whom It May Concern general, the monthly billions of the Internal Revenue Allotments (IRA) for the whole province of LGUs-Basilan where it goes? Are the people benefited from it? And how it implemented and delivered to the stakeholders? By this column I need a point of clarification, so that genuine peace is achievable to my beloved province once I served with utmost dedicated service boldly and honestly with out too much benefiting from it for my personal gain.

The purpose of this column, I wanted a genuine transformation towards boldly and honest reform and renewal for Basilan LGUs. I call it a ‘government of performance’.

Another problem could hamper peace effort of the province, the rampant of the loose fire arms in the province in the hands of an unauthorized authority meaning in civilians hand government should be seriously enough to re-study how to control loose fire arms all over the Philippines. This is considering a menace problem of the national government if not control the continued ploorification of loose fire arms into the civilian hands.
