He said the tri-people of Mindanao can look at the success of Iligan City as an industrial area and make it as a benchmark in drafting the economic policies for the Bangsamoro.
Oaminal said the Bangsamoro should not only learn from the experiences of Iligan on inclusive growth but also on its physical independence on economy.

The House Committee on the Welfare of Children has reported out for floor deliberation a bill providing emergency relief and protection for children during disasters, calamities and other emergency situations.
Rep. Aurora Enerio Cerilles of the Second District of Zamboanga del Sur and chairman of the House body said the bill will set the standards to guide humanitarians and obligates government agencies to perform priority action to protect the rights of children.
“Children are among the worst affected and most vulnerable because of the country’s geographical location and geology, with an average of 20 typhoons yearly, including numerous earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar disasters,” Cerilles said.
Citing the study of Save the Children Philippines, Rep. Susan A. Yap of the Second District of Tarlac and author of House Bill 5062, said more than 10,000 children affected by
Supertyphoon Yolanda are still living in difficult situations in evacuation centers suffering the uncertainty of their education, welfare and health.
“Six children died after their tent in the evacuation center was razed by fire, many of them were not able to go back to school and some children are now engaged in harsh and dangerous labor,” Yap said.
Yap said thousands of children died during Typhoon Yolanda while those who survived have experienced psychosocial trauma and difficulties in evacuation centers, and are even exploited and abused due to lack of social protection.

PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur -- A local health official disclosed that four new cases of HIV-AIDS have been recorded in Pagadian city.
City health officer Dr. Noel Ceniza on Saturday said the four new cases were discovered with the assistance of the Pagadian Gay Society and Humanitarian Gays Association (PAGAYSHEA) since the patients were classified as man having sex with men (MHM).
Ceniza added it was the PAGAYSHEA that convinced them to undergo medical examination.
The PAGAYSHEA, which was organized months ago, is actively involved in healthy lifestyle advocacy and also provides assistance to its members with health problems.
Pagadian City HIV-Sexually Transmitted Infections (HIV-STI) coordinator Carleen Jerusalen said that with the latest discovery, the total number of people positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome since 2012 has reached 14.

MANILA, Philippines - Action in the Palawan Pawnshop Regional age-group 2014 tennis tournament presented by Technifibre shifts to Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur with the roster already hitting the 200-player mark with more expected to sign up before the start of the event today.
Top players from the Zamboanga del Sur Sports Academy headlines the field in the four-day event tipped to discover a number of talents from the host province and from municipalities of Vincensosagun, Josefina, Tigbao, Aurora, Tambulig, Dumingag, Tukuran, Dinas, Tabina, Guipos, Kumalarang and Molave.
“We’d like to laud Palawan Pawnshop’s effort to help develop the sport and for being a partner of Zambo del Sur in promoting tennis here where it has a huge following,” said Gov. Antonio Cerilles, adding the event will not only give the Zambo youth the needed exposure but also test their skills against their counterparts from other municipalities and nearby provinces.
For details, call Palawan Pawnshop secretariat at 0915-4046464.
“Palawan Pawnshop is committed to promote the sport throughout the country and at the same time respond to the strong clamor to stage a tournament in various cities and provinces, including Zamboanga del Sur where the sport is popular,” said Palawan Pawnshop COO Bobby Castro.
The circuit, sanctioned by the Philippine Tennis Association headed by president and Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez, is coming off a successful staging in Sultan Kudarat where siblings Rachel Patricia Velez and John David Velez of Davao and Iligan City’s Gerry Manlangit pocketed two titles each.
“The huge turnout in all our legs has continued to inspire us to stage more tournaments, even in the far-flung areas not only to promote the sport but also to give the youth a venue where they can hone their talent and skills,” said Castro.
