MARAWI CITY, Lanao Del Sur (PIA)--Member of Parliament (MP) Diamila Disimban-Ramos provided P3.5 million in cash aid to ten institutions in Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao provinces during the held peace conversation and ceremonial hand-over of financial assistance to vulnerable, neglected, and marginalized institutions as part of her efforts to help the marginalized sectors in the Bangsamoro region.
This project is being paid for by the 2021 Transitional Development Impact Fund (TDIF) of MP Ramos. It is being run by the Ministry of Public Order and Safety (MPOS) to give mosques and other Islamic structures, like madaris and torils, comfortable facilities so that their students can learn and teach in a good environment.
Ramos, who is also the chairperson of the Committee on Women, Youth, Children, and Persons with Disabilities of the Bangsamoro Parliament, shared her fervent support for the said institutions that continuously contribute to the upbringing of the children and inculcate Islamic knowledge and good manners.
"Kinikilala po natin ang malaking kontribusyong naiambag ninyo sa ating komunidad dahil kayo ang isa sa mga pundasyon sa paghulma ng tamang kaisipan sa ating mga kabataan at sa pagpapalaganap ng kagandahan ng ating relihiyong Islam," she said.
(We recognize your significant contribution to our community because you are one of the pillars for shaping our children's minds and spreading the beauty of our religion, Islam)
"Dama po namin ang mga hamon at paghihirap na inyong kinakaharap kaya naman po sinikap natin na kayo ay matulungan at matugunan ang inyong mga pangangailangan dahil naniniwala ako na kayo po ang kabalikat ng ating pamahalaang Bangsamoro sa pagkamit ng ating layuning pang matagalang kapayapaan at pangkalahatang kaunlaran sa ating rehiyon," said Ramos.
(We feel the challenges and difficulties you are facing, which is why we tried to help with your needs, as I believe that you are the partner of our Bangsamoro government in achieving the dream of sustainable peace and flourishing development in our region)
MPOS Director General Lawyer Al-Rashid Balt expressed his gratitude to MP Ramos for the success of this program that helps and focuses on the welfare of the target institutions.
"Alam po natin na kulang ang atensyon at interbensyon na naibibigay sa inyo ng pamahalaan kaya nakita po namin ang importansya ng pagbibigay sa inyo ng ganitong programa na mas magpapatibay sa inyong adhikain para sa ating mga kababayan lalo na sa mga kabataan," he said.
(We know that the attention and interventions that the government gives you are insufficient; that is why we recognize the importance of giving you this kind of program that will strengthen your aspirations for our countrymen, especially the youth)
Beneficiaries were also grateful for the support of MP Ramos.
"Malaki po ang pasasalamat namin dahil ngayon ay aming inaani ang biyayang ito na bunga ng pagpupursige ng ating Bangsamoro Government. Kaya sa mga kasama kong benepisyaryo, ipakita po natin sa kanila at kay Allah (SWT) na pagtitibayin natin itong biyayang ipinagkatiwala nila sa atin," said Aleem Ahmad Sumbag from Ma'had Darul Ulom Al-Islamie, one of the recipients of the financial aid.
(We are very grateful because today we are reaping this blessing as a result of the persistence of our Bangsamoro Government. Let us show and prove to Allah (SWT) and our fellow beneficiaries that we will use the blessing that they have entrusted to us)
The second tranche of financial assistance will be received by the institutions after the monitoring process that will be conducted by the MPOS. (Office of MP Ramos/PIA-10/Lanao del Sur)
