From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 25): PA to declare Iloilo City as peaceful and development ready

Iloilo City will be formally declared as peaceful and ready for development area by the Philippine Army (PA).

Lt. Col. Enriqueto R. Deocadez Jr., battalion commander of the 82nd Infantry Battalion (82IB) of the Philippine Army, said a memorandum of agreement will be signed between the PA and the city government here during the regular meeting of the Iloilo City Peace and Order Council (ICPOC) next month.

He explained that the agreement will serve as documentary evidence of the peaceful condition of the city.

"We could show the document to those who are interested to invest in the city," he added.

Meantime, he stressed that the presence of the Philippine Army in the city is meant for development initiatives as part of their mission under the civil military operations (CMO).

He added that they are trying to coordinate efforts of the government to address issues that are present in villages where they are holding civic missions.
