MISAMIS Oriental Gov. Oscar Moreno has taken over as the new the chairperson of the Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC). He was appointed by President Aquino. During the first meeting of RPOC with Moreno as the new chairman last Monday, the governor egged on the members of the council to rise from the aftermath of tropical storm Sendong "in a swift and steady manner."
Moreno said that one way of doing that would be to have a commendable peace and order situation in Northern Mindanao to attract more investors.
He went on to say that members of RPOC must take the challenge of orchestrating the region's peace and order plan. "The Typhoon Sendong mishap will still take its toll on the whole region. While we occupy the position of leadership in Mindanao, it may slip away," he said. For the past three years, Northern Mindanao has consistently been the fastest growing region in the country. Then tropical storm Sendong struck in December 2011. But leaders of the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ma. Teresa Alegrio and Promote CDO Foundation chairperson Ruben Vegafria said they were confident that with Northern Mindanao's stable economy before the storm struck, it could easily bounce back within the year.
