SARANGANI: NPA urged to yield

From Tempo (Oct 16): SARANGANI: NPA urged to yield

ALABEL, Sarangani – Gov. Steve Solon has urged member of the New People’s Army (NPA) in the province to lay down their arms and avail the government’s peace and reconciliation program.

The governor made the call as the provincial government continues to facilitate the surrender of NPA rebels who wish to avail of the national government’s Comprehensive Livelihood Integrated Program (CLIP).

Solon said at least 30 former NPA rebels from Sarangani have been enlisted this year into the CLIP wherein the national government had already released some P2 million for their livelihood assistance program.

The CLIP, which is being undertaken by the Department of Interior and Local Government, aims to resolve the decades-old local insurgency problems which hinder the socio-economic development in the countryside.
