We, the Alliance of Northern Mindanao's Non-Government Organization's (NGOs) and People's Organization's (ALMNP's) condemn and deplore:

• The present fast deteriorating Peace and Order as shown by rampant lawlessness, kidnappings, bank hold-ups, etc.;
• The "slowing down" of the economy as shown by lack/loss of jobs, lesser purchasing power of the peso and abject/grave poverty;
• The government's support to the US war on Iraq without the United Nations approval;
• Rampant and pervasive graft and corruption in government, as shown by daily smuggling occurrences, tax evasion and fraud/SOP's in government projects, even in Congress and Senate;
• Many policies that are anti-poor, anti-social change and anti-"common tao".

We resolve hereto to join hands, cross political boundaries, connect different divergent interests among unique sectors and UNITE for a common stand, knowing that in diversity there is unity and support the presidential bid of Senator Ping Lacson on May 2004.

We believe for a New, Dynamic, Firm, Experienced and Result Oriented Leadership to solve the aforementioned problems.

We believe in Ping Lacson. Never shall we be divided. For we are one in helping Lacson solve these problems. Kami Nakighiusa para kang Lacson. We are united with Lacson.

Hindi ka Nag-iisa!!!
