Malacanang said on Tuesday the government has launched its
second peace caravan in the Andap Valley Complex, Surigao del Sur that will
ensure communities that are prone to exploitation by lawless elements to gain
access to basic social services and inclusive growth.

Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the caravan is the result of a strengthened
convergence of national agencies, local government units (LGUs) and civil
society organizations (CSOs) in delivering basic services to geographically
isolated and disadvantaged areas.
“It is part of the government’s inclusive growth agenda,” he
stressed in a Palace press briefing.
Coloma said Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Ging
Deles and Agrarian Reform Secretary Gil delos Reyes are part of the caravan,
along with undersecretaries, assistant secretaries, directors and staff from
various agencies such as the Cabinet Cluster on Security, Justice and Peace and
the Office of the Political Adviser.
These agencies also include the Department of the Interior
and Local Government, Mindanao Coordinating Office, Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority, Commission on Human Rights, the
Deputy Executive Secretary for General Administration, Department of Public
Works and Highways, and Department of Education.
“Alongside presenting the menu of available government
programs and services, the caravan will also be a venue for consultation
between the community and the government on various issues,” Coloma said.
The Andap Valley Complex covers the mountain areas of the
towns of San Miguel, San Agustin, Marihatag, Cagwait, Tago, and Lianga in
Surigao del Sur.
