3ID wants to sustain peace gains

From the Philippine Information Agency (Jun 20): 3ID wants to sustain peace gains

A two-day mission planning workshop last June 14 and 15 was conducted by the 3rd Infantry Division to plan out strategies to sustain the current peace accomplishments of 3ID soldiers in the area of operation.

Early this month, the 3ID has attained its target to make all the cities and provinces on its area of operation Peaceful and Ready for Further Development (PRFD).

“Our job does not stop with the declaration of Peaceful and Ready for Further Development communities, instead, the larger challenge that lies is the sustainment of our efforts so we will not get lost in the right tract to attain development and just and lasting peace,” said 3ID assistant division commander B/Gen. Reynaldo Mutiangpili.

The activity was conducted a couple of days after Department of National Defense (DND) Sec. Voltaire Gazmin visited the 3ID at Camp Macario Peralta, Jr. in Jamindan town and lauded the excellent performance of the spearhead troopers on the PRFD achievement.

However, the DND official has reminded the troops to remain alert and cautious in the journey of bringing peace despite the PRFD declaration.

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.
