TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, July 5 Asia Pulse - Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo commended Tuesday the officials of Lanao del Norte for the lower poverty percentage it posted this year as she noted the great progress that is happening in the province.
"I would like to congratulate your governor for the big progress in Lanao del Norte that I've seen," the President said in her message during the culmination program of the 47th Araw ng Lanao del Norte held at the Mindanao Civic Centre Gymnasium here.
The President noted that in 1992, poverty level in the province was pegged at 67 per cent and after 14 years, it has gone down to 47 per cent.
