Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go gave the assurance during the 104th founding anniversary of the North Cotabato province and the opening of the Kalivungan Festival held at The Basket in Amas, here.
Go assured Cotabateños that no one will be left out in Mindanao in terms of development under the administration of President Duterte.
"Ang North Cotabato dili mabitin. Ang Mindanao sa una layo ta sa development (North Cotabato will not be left out. In the past, Mindanao was behind in terms of development)," he said in his speech during the program.
In Mindanao, the President, he said, is pushing for the construction of the Mindanao Railway System to facilitate the movement of goods and provide seamless transportation.
The administration, he added, is also boosting the micro, small, and medium and enterprises (MSMEs) to help propel the country's economic growth.
Go rallied Cotabateños to continue supporting President Duterte in his war against three fronts -- illegal drugs, corruption, and criminality.
