From the Visayan Daily Star (Mar 23): NEGOR SP
SAYS Army in-charge of CAFGU funds
The Negros Oriental Sangguniang Panlalawigan has approved the release of the
Special CAFGU Active Auxiliary budget directly to the 3 rd Division of the
Philippine Army, and not through the town and city mayors as some SP members had
earlier insisted.
Board Member Fritzy Lumjod-Zanoria sponsored the request from the Office of
the Governor to change the nomenclature in the approved budget for SCAA-Peace
and Order Program worth P600,000, and subsidy for peacekeeping activities at
P1.5 million to “maintenance of the SCAA for subsistence allowance thru the 3 rd
Division of the PA”.
The total budget of P2.1 million will now be directly coursed through the 3
rd PA Division.
BM Melliemoore Saycon said that, at the recent Peace and Order Council
meeting, the town and city mayors were asking for the budget for the SCAA
operating in their areas, claiming the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit
members have been asking for their daily sustenance and uniforms.
Board Member Arnie Teves said it would be neutral to course through the
budget to the Philippine Army because it is an apolitical organization and
subject to the rules and regulations of the Commission on Audit.
The SCAA men are the force multipliers of the Army in maintaining peace and
order in the mountain barangays of the province.
