It becomes Oriental Mindoro’s first and largest commercial establishment to rise within the project Xevera Neo Calapan, in Calapan City.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, March 7 (PIA) -- The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) has been implementing a peace-building program which focuses on developing conflict-affected areas to address the root cause of armed conflict.
 
It brings to Oriental Mindoro the Robinsons brand of shopping, with its seal of quality, efficiency and convenience. Though there are other places of shopping and recreation around the province, Neo Calapan Mall is a notch higher as it will house Robinsons’ signature stores, namely Robinsons Supermarket, Department Store, Appliance Center and Handyman Do-it Best Home Center.
Paul Escober, OPPAP area manager for Bicol, said these efforts are being done under the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) program, the national government’s peace and development framework that aims to build peaceful and resilient communities in conflict affected areas by improving their lives through bringing back government to communities and ensuring that the people benefit from the better delivery of basic services.
 
Aside from these, spa and wellness centers, games and amusement arcade, and two 150-seater cinemas, among others, will also operate inside the mall, offering entertainment and recreation. These establishments are expected to turn shopping and relaxation into a first-class experience in the province, providing Mindoreños a taste of the urban lifestyle.
Pamana implements a converged peace building program focusing on the development of conflict affected areas to address the root cause of armed conflict.
Oriental Mindoro was recently identified by OPAPP as one of the areas under the seven zones where the level of conflict vulnerability is high.
The province belongs to the Bicol-Quezon-Mindoro Zone where recovery efforts of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army continue.
The peace-building programs include poverty reduction in conflict affected areas through community infrastructure and focused delivery of social services, improvement of governance through partnership with national and local institutions, building capacities for governance, enhancement of transparency and accountability mechanism and empowerment of communities and strengthening of their capacity to address issues of vulnerability and peace.
