                    [Summary] => COTABATO CITY — Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan has asked the United States embassy to include Maguindanao’s Polloc port in the itinerary of the US naval hospital ship Mercy.

Dr. Lampa Pandi, the ARMM’s regional health chief, said they are optimistic that the USNS Mercy will also serve Central Mindanao.

                    [Summary] => Due to poor nutrition and inadequate health services, the life span of people in the Autonomous Region in Muslim (ARMM) is shorter by 10 years than other Filipinos, the National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) shows.


While men in the ARMM live up to 56 years, those in other parts of the country could survive up to 66 years.


The NDHS further shows that ARMM women, on the other hand, tend to live only up to 59 years compared to other Filipino women who live longer by 13 years.

President Arroyo has reportedly agreed to a proposal from the House of Representatives to postpone the scheduled ARMM elections to mid-2005 due to lack of funds, during a meeting early this week of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council at Malacañang.

ARMM insiders, among them members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), said in random surveys that more than 50 percent of political and religious leaders in Marawi City, Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi, which comprise the autonomous region, favor the resetting of the fifth regional elections.
