Interior and Local Government Undersecretary Atty. Edwin Enrile, representing
Secretary Mar Roxas.
Also present were AFP chief-of-staff Gen. Hernando DCA
Iriberri and PNP chief Director General Ricardo C. Marquez.
Joint signing of the RJIRR took place at the AFP
Commissioned Officers’ Club in Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City
The RJIRR is a mandate to enhance the cooperation and
coordination between the AFP and the PNP.
It is also expected to clarify operational procedures and
roles of the AFP and PNP against insurgency in connection with the
implementation of EO 546 otherwise known as an executive order “Directing the
Philippine National Police to Undertake Active Support to the Armed Forces of
the Philippines in Internal Security Operations for the Suppression of
Insurgency and Other Serious Threats to National Security, Amending Certain
Provisions of Executive Order No. 110 Series of 1999 and For Other Purposes.”
Under the RJIRR, the PNP QUAD (Operation, Intelligence,
Police Community Relations and Investigations) Operations is mandated to give
support to AFP Triad (Combat Operations, Intelligence and Civil Military
Operations) in discharging its duties to the public against insurgency.
The RJIRR is also meant to set the actions and roles of the
AFP, PNP, DND and DILG in accordance with the guidelines of implementation set
on the varying stages of insurgency from its active stage to a state of
internal peace and stability.
The roles of these agencies vary in degree from lead to
support roles under the scope of the Internal Security Operations (ISO).
Aside from these agencies, the local government units also
play a role in ISO with their mandate of ensuring support to the efforts of AFP
and PNP against insurgency with the RJIRR.
The DILG is hereby tasked to ensure that LGUs act within
their prescribed duties and functions in supporting the implementation of the
RJIRR at the different stages or phase of internal security in accordance with
the Local Government Code 1991 and other applicable laws.
The RJIRR is needed to ensure effective implementation of
the AFP-PNP partnership in conduct of ISO with the help of a Joint Peace and
Security Coordinating Center (JPSCC), as provided in the AFP-PNP JLD 07-2010.
The JPSCC will also act as an authority in assessing the implementation of
RJIRR.
AFP Unified Commands and PNP-DIPOs shall be responsible for
the establishment of JPSCCs in regions, provinces and independent cities.
The JPSCC shall be enhanced by the AFP and the PNP in the
national, regional, provincial and independent city levels.
The Technical Working Groups of the AFP Triad, PNP Quad and
respective Legal Services shall serve as the Secretariat of the JPSCC.
The RJIRR shall also be the mechanism to ensure cooperation
between the AFP, PNP and LGUs in addressing all peace and security concerns in
the area, including during times of emergency and calamity.
