'Spark of hope'
Excerpt
Meanwhile, MinDA has eyed developing the coastal town of Sultan Naga Dimaporo in Lanao del Norte for bangus fish cage farming to push job generation in this sleepy rural town in northern Mindanao, and, at the same time, form part of a wider expansion program involving a total of 22 areas in Mindanao. In the case of the Lanao del Norte town, Piñol told Mayor Mutalib Dimaporo that his town is the only one in the province facing the Moro Gulf, and has a 30-kilometer coastal line and a newly completed fish port. Sultan Naga Dimaporo town has a population of 60,000, of which about 40 percent are Maranaos and 60 percent are Visayans. “This would be a perfect example of a town with peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians,” he added.
