COTABATO CITY -- Thirteen municipalities from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) are set to receive the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) Seal of Child Friendly Local Governance (SCFLG) for 2017.
Lawyer Noor Hafizullah Abdullah, DENR-ARMM secretary, identified the child-friendly ARMM municipalities as Parang, Datu Abdullah Sangki, Barira, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Sultan Kudarat, Sultan Mastura, South Upi, and Upi, of Maguindanao; Piagapo, Binidayan, Kapatagan, and Balindong, of Lanao del Sur, and Talipao of Sulu.
The ARMM comprises the cities of Marawi and Lamitan, and the provinces of Maguindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Basilan, and Lanao del Sur.
Abdullah said the SCFLG awarding for the ARMM areas is set on Nov. 10 at Royal Mandaya Hotel in Davao City.
The SCFLG is an annual award given to local government units (LGUs) promoting child-friendly atmospheres.
The LGUs are recognized as they give priority to children in their planning, budgeting, legislation and delivery of services. They make sure that children enjoy their rights of survival, development, protection and participation in their respective areas, Abdullah said.
