While the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) was having another significant milestone in the conduct of the plebiscite on the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), the peace-loving ‘tri-people’ communities in Tantangan, South Cotabato continues to nurture peace by working together. The people have chosen to find solution to a decades-long problem of lack of potable water and respect each other’s differences.
Thus, in a matter of months, a water system was finally ready to serve the needs of the community. A turn-over ceremony of the Matimos Community-Managed Water System Rehabilitation and Expansion to the Muslim-Christian Water System Association was held at the grounds of Luayan Elementary School of Purok 5, Barangay Dumadalig, Tantangan, South Cotabato on January 23, 2019, and in the absence of their parents, the school children sat and witnessed the occasion.
