As the Chief Executive of the province, I am pleased to warmly welcome each of you to the newly reinaugurated official website of the Provincial Government of South Cotabato.
Since the advent of my administration, the Provincial Government of South Cotabato has been steadfastly dedicated to boosting our local communities by providing excellent public services and by engaging in community immersion to have a better understanding of the predicaments of all our constituents including those who live in far-flung areas. Such commitment is an important foundation of Tama At Maayos Na Serbisyo.
Over recent years, the provincial government has taken advantage of many opportunities to spur local progress and development through key projects and programs including the free hospitalization and free education programs, and through dynamic leadership, which helped build the resilience of South Cotabateños during times of economic, health and or disaster-related concerns.
Rest assured, I will be in constant search of multiple opportunities to further expand and strengthen our economy, to invest in sound infrastructure, to promote effective governance and government service, to improve quality of life for all, and to transform our homeland into a province we can be proud of.
Sa mga mamamayan ng South Cotabato, patuloy tayong magkaisa upang makamit natin ang isang lalawigang maunlad at tunay na angat sa lahat.
