GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Sept 24 (PIA)-- Binuksan kamakailan lamang ang ka-una unang Army Reserve Command (ARESCOM) – Special Basic Citizen Military Training sa Malungon bilang pilot project nito sa Sarangani.
ALABEL, Sarangani, September 23 (PIA) – Sarangani will soon name the Sarangani Provincial Capitol as JLC Capitol Building in honor of its founder, the late Rep. James L. Chiongbian as soon as an ordinance calling for such is passed.
Aabot sa 180 opisyales at mga piling residente mula sa 31 barangays at mga karatig bayan ang nakiisa sa pagbubukas noong nakaraang lingo.
The ordinance drafted and jointly sponsored by Board Members Eugene Alzate, Cornelio Martinez, Elmer de Peralta, Alexander Bryan Reganit, Hermie Galzote, Eleanor Saguiguit, Virgilio Clark Tobias, Limuel Gacula, Benedicto Ruiz II, Abdulracman Pangolima, George Perrett, Arman Guili and Victor James Yap Jr. noted that other than the world-class coastal highway, the Provincial Capitol Building serves as a prominent feature of the province’s infrastructure development achieved under the initiative of the late Rep. Chiongbian.
Ayon kay Army 2Lt. Raydez Acosta, assistant training director ng Army Reserve Command 1205th Community Defense Center, ang bagong proyekto ng ARESCOM sa ilalim ng superbisyon ng 112th Regional Community Defense Group Reserve Command ay naglalayong makapagturo ng tamang pamamaraan sa pakikipaglaban at pagdepensa ng kani-kanilang mga tahanan ang mga mamamayan laban sa mga nagnanais umapi at magsamantala sa bayan.
Sarangani was created in 1992 as a new province from then the 3rd District of South Cotabato.
.
“As a new province at that time, Congressman James L. Chiongbian tirelessly accessed funds and implemented social and economic infrastructure like farm-to-market roads, bridges, flood control, school buildings, spring and water development, irrigation, municipal hospitals, sea walls and ports,” according to the draft ordinance.
Kaugnay nito ay sinabi rin ni Acosta na sa pamamagitan ng ARESCOM ang mga magtatapos sa nasabing pagsasanay ay magiging reserbadong kawal ng pamahalaan.
“He granted scholarships to poor but deserving students of the province, provided livelihood programs and sponsored and co-sponsored hundreds of House bills with local and national applications.
Sa kabilang dako naman ay pinasalamatan ni Vice Mayor Benjamin Guilley ang naging aktibong partisipasyon ng mga opisyales at residente ng 31 barangay ng Malungon.
In addition, the ordinance stated that “enough space” would be provided “outside the main Provincial Capitol building for the institution of a statue, signage, memorabilia, and/or any landmarks representing the late Congressman James L. Chiongbian and his remarkable accomplishments for the Province of Sarangani and the whole SOCSARGEN area.
Malaki rin ang pasasalamat ni Mayor Reynaldo Constantino sa ipinakitang partisipasyon ng mga kababayan nito na ayon sa kanya isang malinaw na pagpapahiwatig na nais ng mga kababayan nito ang mapanatili ang peace and order sa Malungon.
The ordinance also provides for activities to be conducted honoring the deeds of the late Congressman during foundation anniversaries of the province, with appropriation to be included in the regular subsidy of the provincial government.
“Dako ang akon kalipay sa ginpakita ninyo nga pagsuporta sa sini nga programa sang aton AFP (Masaya ako’t nagpapasalamat sa inyong naging suporta sa programa ng AFP),” ani Constantino.
The Sarangani Provincial Employees Union through its president Anacleto Saya-ang has expressed support to the ordinance.
Ayon sa kanya naniniwala ito na sa pamamagitan ng ARESCOM maraming matutunan nag mga kababayan nito lalo na sa larangan ng pagpapanatili ng katiwasayan sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng Malungon.
In a letter sent to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Saya-ang said “we in the Sarangani Provincial Employees Union (SPEU) are very much supportive to the draft ordinance of the honorable board members naming the main Provincial Capitol Building of the Provincial Government of Sarangani as Congressman James L. Chiongbian (JLC) Building.”
Hindi lingid sa lahat na minsa’y tinawag na “haven of cattle rustlers and hardened criminals” ang kabundukan ng Malungon subalit sa pamamagitan ng pagpupunyagi ng lokal na pamahalaan at mga komunidad naging tahimik ito sa kalaonan.
Aside from the creation of Sarangani as a province through Republic Act No. 7228, Congressman Chiongbian also authored Republic Act No. 5412 otherwise known as the Charter of General Santos City. (PIO Sarangani/PIA General Santos City/CTA)
Kamakailan lamang ginawaran ng parangal ng provincial government ang bayan ng Malungon bilang pinaka-tahimik na bayan ngayon sa buong lalalwigan ng Sarangani. (IPPalma/MIO-Malungon/CTApelacio/PIA General Santos City)
