Nine provinces in
the area of responsibility of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Philippine
Army have been declared peaceful and ready for further development.
The peace and
order development was achieved after the province of Negros Occidental was
declared peaceful and the Negrenses are ready for further development thru a
resolution that was unanimously approved by the Provincial Peace and Order
Council (PPOC) of Negros Occidental last June 10.
The eight other
provinces of Iloilo , Aklan, Capiz, Antique,
Negros Oriental, Guimaras, Cebu and Siquijor
have earlier manifested their desire for sustainable peace and development.
“These gains in
peace and security efforts must be sustained and we can do this by working
together in the spirit of Bayanihan,” said 3ID commander Maj. Gen. Rey Leonardo
Guerrero.
The declaration
is a manifestation that the peace and order situation of the province has
significantly improved, the PPOC and the respective security measures are
effectively functioning, and that its people has become aware and resilient,
accepting their shared responsibility against threats and risks to public order
and safety.
During the 3IDs
founding anniversary celebration last May at Camp Gen. Macario Peralta, Jr. in
Jamindan town, Philippine Army commanding general Lt. Gen. Hernando Iriberri
said that when the provinces have been declared peaceful and ready for
development, the threats on these areas have become inconsequential.
The top army
official also noted that 3ID is one of the most accomplished Division
of the Philippine Army which has fulfilled its commitment to secure its area of
responsibility and clear the community of enemy influence.
