Moral recovery key to social dev’t

DAVAO DEL NORTE - The province is rooting for a stable and morallyupright citizenry that serves as a pillar of a strong and progressive society.

Governor Rodolfo del Rosario said this makes the Spiritual and Moral Recovery Program (SMRP) of the province an indispensable component in attaining social development.

“I believe that no economic development is achieved and sustained unless people cultivate in them the right positive attitude,” the governor stressed.

Del Rosario included the SMRP program among the main agenda of his previous term to develop good moral characters, as well as, promote integrity and kindness among the Dabaonons.

The governor has further strengthened the program under his present hu- man-centered development thrust called P.E.O.P.L.E.

He said the strategy has beefed up the capacity of the constituents to institute positive change and address issues and concerns in their respective communities.

“Only then can one equate economic development to social development,” the governor said, at the launch of the Barangay Moral Recovery Program Coordinators (BMRPC) in District 1.

Rev. Edwin Santos, the Deputy Coordinator of the Provincial Moral Recovery Program for Evangelicals, said the BMRP coordinators are tasked to further the movement for a just and moral society by helping barangay officials and constituents develop deeper relationship with the Almighty, among other aims.
