The hounds of ARMM

Every time Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) hogs the news, something sensational, something bizarre are being floated to stir the imagination of the readers that the region is a safe haven to terrorist or the killing field.

But contrary to the information, ARMM is a peaceful region and only sporadic troubles erupted at long intervals.

The sensational binge has been eminent to portray ARMM as the battleground which is not true.

Tourists are continually streaming to view exotic places in the ARMM.

It is the strategic region to the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP EAGA).

Agriculturewise, the soil is generally fertile and suitable for cultivation. Planted extensively and intercropped are coconuts, rubber, and coffee. Minor crops include palay, corn, banana, cassava, pineapple, cacao, and african palm.

The life in ARMM is normal and many are enamored of the physical features of the region. Some mediamen should be charitable and kind to the region by also depicting its positive sides.

This will do justice to the Moro people who are exerting all out efforts to attract investors for the region development.
