From the Manila Bulletin (Mar 23): Insurgency-Free
ILOILO CITY, Iloilo — Two provinces in Panay Island are now free from the influence of communist insurgency.
Major General Jose Mabanta Jr., commander of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID), said that Antique province has joined Aklan province wherein the forces of New People’s Army (NPA) have significantly dwindled.
Mabanta said the joint declaration he recently signed with Governor Exequiel Javier means Antique province is ready for full blown socio-economic development and investors will be more confident in the peace and order situation.
Mabanta explained that the NPA cannot thrive in areas where public-private partnership (PPP) exists.
