I, GLORIA M. ARROYO, by the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order:

The relevant agencies shall accelerate/expand development programs in support of local peace efforts, especially the Bohol local peace efforts. The message should be clear: When peace is forged, development follows. This template should be demonstrated in several key provinces, ideally in Mindanao (Butuan), Visayas (Bohol) and Luzon (perhaps Laguna or Quezon).


By the President:
(Sgd.) EDUARDO R. ERMITA
Executive Secretary
