TUNGAWAN, Zamboanga Sibugay – To capacitate the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) Active Auxiliary of the 6th Special Forces Battalion, Philippine Army (PA), a two-day livelihood training and seminar was recently conducted here by the municipal government through its Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) and the Municipal Agriculturist Office.

Councilor Loverly Caracol described the occasion as a “manifestation of a true convergence of efforts” to make Tungawan a better and peaceful place to live in.
 
“The training was designed to provide more livelihood capacity activities not only for the people of Tungawan but also to CAA members as well,” Caracol added.
 
Lt. Col. Dante T. Bermillo, acting commanding officer of the 6th SF Battalion expressed his gratitude to the local government for extending its support to the said training, which sought to improve the CAFGU’s living condition by making them productive when they are off-duty.
 
CAFGUs are the AFP’s force multipliers in the community. Bermillo also urged the participants to be involved in more productive livelihood activities.
 
He even emphasized the unit’s task in providing effective supervision over the CAFGU Active Auxiliary (CAA) not only in Tungawan town but also in the entire of Zamboanga Peninsula region except for Zamboanga del Sur, which belongs to the 1st Infantry Tabak Division.
