FOR so long, the town of Lumbatan in Lanao del Sur remained underdeveloped, was saddled with unpaved roads and unstable peace and order and had no access to basic social services and a government only for the powers that be.
But a neophyte in politics in the person of Mayor Allan Lao is changing all that.
“I want Lumbatan to have effective governance and be a model town in Lanao del Sur,” x the 46-year-old Lao said.
Before his elecgtion to the town’s highest position, Lao was a project evaluation officer at the Office of the Regional Governor of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) where he assessed project proposals. Thus, he was trained to be result oriented.
Of the ARMM governors whom he has served, Lao speaks highly of the incumbent, Mujiv Hataman.
“He is a hands-on leader who works very hard,” Lao said. He added that Hataman finds solutions to problems right away.
Weary of the lack of vision of Lumbatan’s leaders, Lao decided to enter politics. Since peace and order is Lumbatan’s top problem, Lao initiated the settling of ridos or clan wars.
