Brigade commanders urged to expedite security efforts

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 1): Brigade commanders urged to expedite security efforts

In a bid to hasten development in the remaining rebel infested provinces in the country, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang has instructed all brigade commanders to intensify their security efforts to expedite development in the said localities.

He made this statement during the two-day Internal Security Operations Activities Stratification Workshop held at the AFP Commissioned Officers Club in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

This ended July 31.

“I hope that after this workshop, when you start implementing your stratified list of specific activities, we can already expect the normalization and declaration as peaceful and ready for development the remaining thirty-one provinces by the 1st semester of 2015,” Catapang said.

“In order to sustain our gains, we need to revisit the strategic-tactical alignment in the implementation of the IPSP 'Bayanihan' for us to achieve its objectives,” he added.

The two-day workshop aims to identify gaps and realign activities and identify challenges in line with the AFP’s accomplishments in addressing insurgency.

The participants were tasked to identify priority activities in line with the strategic objectives mainly focused military operations, stakeholder engagements and "Bayanihan" team activities.

“We can effectively cascade the IPSP Bayanihan down the line by laying out specific, tangible and doable activities at each level. By coming up with a stratified list of activities, our units will gain more appreciation on their contribution to the success of the plan,” Catapang concluded.
