Roxas to Bukidnon Local Execs, Constituents: Let's fight our battle togetherJune 11, 2015

Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Mar Roxas encouraged the local executives in Bukidnon including the governor and 20 municipal mayors to join together in fighting corruption, poverty, and criminality for the future of the province.

Roxas issued this statement in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, on Wednesday (June 10) during the turnover ceremony of the 20 brand new police patrol jeeps to their respective beneficiaries.

"Meron tayong 20 patrol jeeps na inilaan para sa mga bayan ng Bukidnon dahil mahalaga ito sa inyo at mahalaga rin kayo para sa amin. Hindi namin kayo nakakalimutan kahit pa nasa Mindanao kayo, kahit pa nasa malayong lugar kayo basta kayo palagi ang importante para kay Mar Roxas," the DILG chief said.

During the visit, Roxas met with local officials led by Bukidnon Gov. Jose Ma. Zubiri and League of Municipalities of the Philippines president Mayor Osmundo dela Rosa of the municipality of Malitbog, Bukidnon.

Roxas said as we celebrate the country's independence on June 12, we will continue to fight our own battle with corruption, poverty, and criminality.

"Even after succeeding in the fight for independence, we still continue to fight our battle against hunger and hopelessness. But through our programs like Bottom-Up Budgeting, SalinTubig, Conditional Cash Transfer, PhilHealth para sa lahat, mga patrol jeep, Lambat-Sibat ng PNP at matuwid na pamamalakad ng pamahalaan ay unti-unti, slowly but surely, malalabanan natin ang kahirapan at kawalan ng pag-asa. Patuloy ang ating laban diyan dahil tayong lahat ay sabay-sabay na tumatahak sa tuwid na daan," Roxas said.

He also stressed the importance of these patrol jeep in the province of Bukidnon in keeping the peace and order situation in northern Mindanao's food basket.

"Dito sa Bukidnon mayaman ang lupa. Kahit ano itusok mo dito ay tutubo pero maaari itong hadlangan ng kaguluhan o kriminalidad," Roxas said.

He said through these patrol jeeps, the province can address the problems in peace and order as well as the delivery of necessities during times of disasters and saving the lives of people affected by calamities.

"Para ito sa anti-criminality, para tayo magkaroon ng kaginhawahan at katahimikan. Itong mga patrol jeeps ay magamit sa pagbantay ng ating mga lansangan dahil nais natin mabigyan ng kagamitan ang ating mga pulis sa pagsugpo ng kriminalidad," Roxas said.

Twenty patrol jeeps were turned over to the mayors and representatives of 20 municipalities in Bukidnon.

The brand new police patrol jeeps were distributed to the municipality of Baungon, Cabanglasan, Damulog, Dangcagan, Don Carlos, Impasug-ong, Kadingilan, Kalilangan, Kibawe, Kitaotao, Lantapan, Libona, Malitbog, Manolo Fortich, Maramag, Pangantucan, Quezon, San Fernando, Sumilao, and Talakag.

"Our fight will continue, together we will fight our battle," Roxas said.
