MALUNGON, Sarangani - AABOT sa may 1, 500 na m’yembro, lakip na ang may 500 na mga lederes mula sa 30 na iba’t-ibang simbahan ang nakibahagi sa isinagawang panunumpa sa tungkulin ng mga bagong opisyales ng Malungon Ministerial Fellowship (MMF) noong araw ng B’yernes (January 25, 2012) sa bayan ng Malungon, Sarangani Province.

Ayon kay Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao na siyang tumayo bilang inducting officer sa naturang okasyon ay bihira lamang umano mangyari ang ganitong uri ng kongregasyon na kung saan ay aktibong nagsasama-sama ang halos lahat ng uri ng relihiyon. 

“Ang nakikita po natin ngayon ay isang uri ng samahan ng mga tagapagsalita ng ating Panginoon na minsan lamang natin nasasaksihan. Kaya ikinagagalak ko po na makita ang ganitong uri ng pagkakaisa lalo na sa mga pastor na nagmula sa iba't ibang sektor ng pananampalataya,” ang turan ng nasabing Kongresista na sa kasaluyan ay kilala na rin sa buong mundo ‘di lamang bilang world boxing icon, kundi maging tagapagsalita na rin ng Maylikha.

Sa pagpunta ni Pacquiao sa Malungon ay kasama nito ang kabiyak na si Jinkee na tatakbo bilang bise gubernadora ng lalawigan, ilang malalapit na kamaganak at ang sports reporter ng ABS-CBN na si Dyan Castillejo.

Ang mga kasapi ng MMF na nagsipaglahok sa naturang pagtitipon ay mula sa relihiyong Romano Katoliko, Iglesia ni Kristo, evangelical Christian Outreach Foundation Inc., Southern Baptist Church, Alliance Church, Assembly of God, Int’l One Way Outreach Foundation Inc., Evangelical Church of God, United Pentecostal Church, Lutheran Church, Convention Baptist, Foursquare Church, Temple of God, Church of Christ, UCCP, Evangelical Bible Church, Seventh Day Adventist, Victory Chapel, Philippine Missionary Association, Jesus Christ Hope of the World, Hard Rock Ministries, Rhema Church, Church of God of the Prophecy, Apostolic Church, World Disciple Mission, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Dating Daan, Universal Church, at ng Aglipay.

Ayon kay Mayor Reynaldo ‘Bong’ Constantino, sa temang “Lead like Jesus” ay umaasa din ito ng mas mahigpit na pagkakaisa ng mga lideres ng simbahan na nasa ilalim ng samahang MMF.

“Bisan indi gid man naton maperpekto, mahimo man naton bilang mga lideres nga makaserbisyo kita sang tuod-tuod sa aton nga mga isigkatawo, regardless of our faith and religion, pareho sang ginahimo nga pagpalanga sa aton tanan sang  aton mahal nga Hesukristo,” ani Constantino.

Sa isinagawang turnover ay maingat na iniabot ni outgoing president Rev. George Gevero ang susi ng responsibilidad bilang bagong presidente ng MMF kay Pastor Felipe Sugabo ng samahang ECOFI.

Samantala, bilang Honorary Chairperson ay ipinaabot din ni Gng. Roselyn Dadivas-Constantino na siyang maybahay ng alkalde, ang labis na pasasalamat nito sa lahat ng mga dumalo’t nakibahagi sa naturang pagtitipon. (Isagani Palma-MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).

Honorable Malungon town Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino’s message during the official opening of Sarangani 2nd Province-wide Health Summit on January 8-9, 2012 at the  Family Country Homes Hotel Convention Center in  General Santos City.

GREETINGS to all!

It has been a year since we had our first ever Province-wide health Summit, where we have worked together in a bid to widen up our vision of extending the most effective health  care for the benefit of our beloved constituents.

Thus, after a span of a year, I am here to admit that I have not able to do it, perfectly.  But yet, I am proud to say that per official records, our numerous and positive contributions on proper health care in the province, as well as our achievements – national and local – have out weight our imperfections.

Health programs are one of the basic, primary concerns of my administration because I believe that if my people are nourished, fit and healthy ... assenting changes on employment and education will soon to ensue.

In order to address the existing poverty in our country, our Municipality has developed a program which we call “Program 3-in-1,” wherein Philhealth Enrollees may avail of out-patient consultations for free, a TB DOTS Package which is also covered by Philhealth, and six birthing homes for pregnant women to deliver a child. And so to speak, we already have a total of 12, 831 enrollees that are now under Philhealth’s protection.

To further protect and strengthen the rights and benefits of pregnant women, the life of the unborn, as well as the health and nutrition of the entire members of each family, the Sangguniang Bayan of Malungon has passed an ordinance with respect to Maternal Neonatal Child Health and Nutrition Program.

Modesty aside, for many years, Malungon has been consistent for being an outstanding Nutrition Program implementor/awardee not only here in Sarangani, but the whole of Central Mindanao Region, as well.

For almost five years up to now, a program in Malungon called “Lingap sa Barangay,” where services that promote and bolster health, sanitation, and nutrition program is still being regularly held every Thursday. Through this, we continue to give easy and convenient access to the public by going directly to the barangays and offer our services to them and not the other way around.

In spite of all our efforts to strengthen our health and nutrition programs, I am aware that there are still many things to be done. That is why, like all of you here, I am also very pleased and eager to listen and learn from our speakers, guests, and fellow public officials, the additional emphasis on how to achieve and alleviate our common goals. For it is certain, that through healthy discussions and evaluations, we could able to uplift the living condition of fellow Sarangans.

Once again, a pleasant day to all and a Happy New Year!
