The Capiz-based 3rd Infantry Division announced that it is
spearheading in its area of responsibility the month-long observance of the
National Peace Consciousness Month this September.
During Monday’s flag raising ceremony, soldiers in all
military camps under 3rd Infantry Division recited the Harmony Prayer and the
Pledge for Peace in support to the annual event, Major Ray Tiongson, unit
spokesperson, said.
This year's theme is “Nagkakaisang Bayan para sa
Kapayapaan”.
“As we observe the National Peace Consciousness Month, your
Army remains resolute in its peace and security efforts in order to create an
environment conducive for sustainable development and a just and lasting
peace,” 3rd Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Aurelio Baladad said.
Since July 2013, the unit has implemented the “Dagyaw Para
sa Kalinaw III” (Working together for peace) campaign.
This resulted to the neutralization of sixty-eight
CPP-NPA-NDF (CNN) members that included five high ranking CNN personalities.
Fourteen were killed during encounters, 26 were captured or
arrested and 28 have chosen to lay down their arms and return to the folds of
the law.
The 3rd Infantry Division has also recovered a total of 75 firearms
(39 high powered and 36 low powered) and 12 improvised explosive devices.
The Dagyaw Para sa Kalinaw has also paved the way in the
declaration of Negros Oriental as conflict-manageable and development-ready
province last May 7.
