Meanwhile, Rodriguez vowed to push for fast tracking Mindanao’s economic growth and development and to protect and preserve the environment, indigenous cultures and ancestral domain, vital for future generations by balancing economic growth and technological advancement with rational development and sustainable utilization of natural resources.

Also, he said there is a need to attain lasting peace and stability, through advancement of social justice, equity and equality among all Mindanao inhabitants regardless of ethnic groupings, religious beliefs, income strata and gender.

“We are also advocating for affirmative action by the national government to correct the inequitable and inadequate government resources infused in Mindanao ,” he said.

He added that Abamin is also working for the adoption of a federal system of government. This is to espouse more appropriate and effective policies to assure the fullest development of the six regions of Mindanao .
