Philippine Army 3rd Infantry Division Commander Rey Leonardo
Guerrero said that they will soon recommend the declaration of Iloilo as a peaceful
province because of the decreased incidents of violence and situation in the
countryside slowly normalized.
Guerrero, who was interviewed Tuesday, further that said
that their recommendation for the declaration for the province of Iloilo, which
is the last to be declared as such in Region 6, is also due to the dwindling
forces of the New People’s Army (NPA) and the delivery of essential services
particularly to the farflung areas.
” During the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC)
meeting one of the topics to be discussed will be the declaration,” the army
official contended.
He said that with the approval of Iloilo Gov. Arthur
Defensor, Sr. who chairs the PPOC a resolution to that effect hopefully could
be passed.
He added that in fact they already planned last year to have
such a declaration but because of the typhoon and due to other reasons that
kept the provincial government busy that the plan was not carried out.
