Vale issued the statement during the Countryside Development Program-Purok Power Movement (CDP-PPM) Hand Over and Induction of the Purok Sectoral Working Committees in Mahagbu, Trinidad, Bohol last Thursday.

Mahagbu is among the 18 out of 20 barangays in Trinidad declared by BADACs as drug free.

Executive assistant to the governor Ariel Lungay in behalf of Gov. Edgar M. Chatto in his message said what the PGBh has been doing is to bring the government closer to the households through the puroks so that the problems of the people could be heard and felt and could be addressed.

Lungay said Gov. Chatto has been always asking the supports and cooperation of the Boholanos to behold Bohol.

He expressed thanks to the Philippine National Police (PNP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the barangay officials who have been embracing with the capitol officials in the pursuit that geared towards peace and development.
