LMDA pushes for representation in Congress

By Robert E. Roperos

Butuan City (10 November) -- Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Lake Mainit Development Alliance (LMDA) pushes for the association's representation in the House of Representatives during its meeting on Tuesday (November 10) at the Agusan del Norte Provincial Training Center, Capitol Site, this city.

The move was realized after members of the local government units of Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte suggested to include the representation of the House of Representatives of the districts in the BOT of LMDA as honorary member.

Accordingly, the presence of the congressional representative will help a lot in the sustainable development of Lake Mainit, the fourth largest and considered the deepest and cleanest lake in the country.

The Congressional districts in both the provinces of Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte can assist the LMDA in their program and projects especially in the allocation of funds and policy formulation, it was gathered.

With these developments, members of the BOT have unanimously agreed to endorse Agusan del Norte 1st District and Butuan City Cong. Jose S. Aquino II, Agusan del Norte 2nd District Cong. Edelmiro Amante, Surigao del Norte 1st District Congressman Francisco Matugas, and Surigao del Norte 2nd District Congressman Guillermo Romarate, Jr. to represent LMDA in the House of Representatives.
