SUPPORT MINDANAO, INVEST IN PEACE: Senator Richard Gordon asked the Filipino people to stop talking about Mindanao as a zone of war and start investing in peace and development in Southern Philippines. Gordon, in his visit to Kidapawan City, North Cotabato during the 93rd Kidapawan Foundation Anniversary and Hinugyaw Festival, said that Mindanao has so many products to offer consumers and all that is needed is to connect these products to domestic and international markets. Recently, Gordon convinced several large scale supermarketsin Metro Manila to begin selling fruits sourced from Basilan and Sulu.
