“The Lake Lanao cannot be denied that it is part of the history and has a special place in the hearts of every Meranaw or the Bangsamoro as a whole. Most, if not all, of the people living near the lake drink and take a bath from it which became one of the issues and problems encountered – health problems to be specific. Health Problems like Diarrhea and Skin disease is being reported in one of the municipalities in Lanao del Sur.” Said by MP Atty. Maisara
“Wag po nating hayaan ang patuloy at unti-unting pagkamatay ng Ranao. Habang-buhay naming isasapuso bilang mga Maranao ang inyong pag-pasa ng panukalang batas at hindi po naming ito makakalimutan ang inyong handog sa susunod na henerasyon.”
