The rebels surrendered to the 7SFC sometime in 2018 and 2019 and were validated through the Joint AFP and PNP Intelligence Committee.
Provincial Social Welfare Development Office representative, Hersche Nunez, Provincial-Local Government Operations Officer representative, Maria Lourdes, Martinez, 3SFBn Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Joey B Baybayan, Police Provincial Office representative, Police Lieutenant Colonel Karen F. Vertudazo attended the activity sponsored by Surigao del Sur Province.
Some of the programs of the E-CLIP include modified conditional cash assistance, sustainable livelihood programs, cash for work, assistance to individuals in crisis situations and protective services for individuals and families.
One of the beneficiaries, alias Arnel, called on the communist rebels to follow their path and abandon their armed struggle to end local communist armed conflict.
“Surrender na tayo sa gobyerno. Wala tayong kinabukasan sa pagsama sa CPP NPA NDF. Sila ang matagal na nanloko at sumira sa buhay natin at pamilya. Tingnan ninyo kami ngayon, sana magsurrender narin kayo para maging maayos na ang inyong buhay at makasama ang inyong mga pamilya,” he said.
Lieutenant Colonel Baybayan said, “The political will and the dedication of the lead agencies and the local chief executives coupled with the all-out support of their constituents are keys to end insurgency in every locality.”
Meanwhile, Surigao del Sur’s declaration of persona-non-grata against Communist NPA rebels boosted the province’s implementation of the Whole of Nation Approach to end the useless struggle of the communist armed and political front groups as stated in the Presidents’ Executive Order 70.
