Some 800 Muslim women, representing 49 different organizations in Mindanao, have expressed strong support to the 10-point agenda of governance of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The pledge of support was personally relayed to the President by the officers and members of the newly-organized Philippine Muslim Women Council (PMWC) during today’s induction ceremonies administered by the Chief Executive.

The President motored to the Marco Polo Hotel here from Lioc Kiu Fraternity Building where she launched the soft opening of the P60 million Cyber City call center.

In a simple ceremony at the Ballroom 3 of the hotel, the PMWC vowed to support the administration's 10-point agenda that would uplift the lives of the Filipino people as well as the ongoing Mindanao Peace Plan that aims to end the decades-long armed struggle by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

During the brief program, Department of Social Welfare and Development Undersecretary Bai Omera D. Lucman, head of the PMWC, presented to the President the council's resolutions and manifesto that were agreed upon during their three-day assembly last July 28-30 in Ayala Resort in Marawi City.

Lucman told the President that they have a sincere commitment and the dynamic participation of Muslim women in threshing out a lasting culture of peace in Mindanao.

After partaking lunch with the Muslim women, the President motored to the Davao Convention and Trade Center where she addressed the 13th Mindanao Business Conference.
