ARMM Gov. Hataman |
“Masaya ako dahil papasok tayo sa
isang transition mula ARMM government to Bangsamoro government nang nag-iwan
tayo ng isang mark na kailangan . Magiging challenge din ito sa mga susunod na
mamumuno sa atin,” Hataman said.
This was after PSA-ARMM’s OIC
Regional Director Razulden Mangelen announced in a press conference that the
ARMM's gross regional domestic product (GRDP) reached a 7.3% growth rate in its
economy.
This year, the ARMM registered a
higher growth rate than the national growth rate of 6.7%. It is also far from
the region's 0.4% growth rate in 2016.
The region’s economy was lifted
mainly by the recovery of the Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry, and Fishing
(AHFF) sector according to Mangelen.
Hataman called on the region's line
agencies to continue their good work. “Panawagan ko sa lahat, isustain natin
kung ano na ang naabot natin at lalo pa nating taasan,” he said.
National Statistician Lisa Bersales
also commended the efforts of the regional government in the message she
delivered during the event.
“We thank the government of
Governor Hataman for being our source of information and for helping us
advocate for proper data which enabled us to give the right information,”
Bersales said.
“We partnered with ARMM, and with
the Bangsamoro eventually, to know more about the information that we come up
with as we provide the best information for the lives of the people,” she
added.
ARMM ranked 6th among the 17
regions in the country in terms of GDRP growth rate, and remains as the only
predominantly agricultural region. (Bureau
