THE United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) has vowed to look into three major concerns Mindanaoans are confronted with – energy, economy and peace -- during their campaign sorties here yesterday, March 3, 2013, in Cagayan de Oro City. The UNA senatorial ticket, being led by former president Joseph Estrada, is having a three-day swing, bringing the vision “power, progress and peace” in Mindanao.

Ejercito told newsmen at the press conference held at the Philtown in downtown Cagayan de Oro. energy /P5
