Amidst renewed moves to destabilize the government, the League of Provinces/Governors of the Philippines expressed their full support for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
In a Manifesto of Support for the Chief Executive, the provincial chief executives also called for an end to the agitations by her detractors to unseat the President through unconstitutional means and to stop political bickerings for the sake of the country.
The manifesto was issued at the end of the 2nd General Assembly of the League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP) held at the Villa Del Rey Convention Center in Cadlan, Pili, Camarines Sur.
LPP President and Misamis Occidental Governor Loreto Leo Ocampos said the manifesto expressed the governors' unwavering and wholehearted support to the Arroyo administration.
Thanking them for their support, the President said that together, the national and local governments are "making real progress in alleviating poverty."
With a better economy, "the rate of poverty is down, employment is up and education and healthcare services to the poor are vastly improved. These are the keys in lifting up the poor."
The League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP), which has 80 members, aims to ventilate, articulate and crystallize issues affecting provincial and metropolitan government administration. It likewise serves to secure, through proper and legal means, solutions to problems confronting the localities.
