The Panay Bukidnon tribe of Iloilo recently named Maj. Gen. Rey Leonardo Guererro as honorary adviser in recognition of the military officer’s effort to bring the government and government services closer to the indigenous group.
In a ceremony held last week, Guerrero, commander of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, was adopted by the Panay Indigenous Peoples Organization (PIPOL) “for consistently and continuously empowering indigenous peoples (IPs), for the untiring efforts that bring harmonious relationship among the IP communities and the government sector.”
The Panay Bukidnons cited the many years spent by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) forging closer and stronger relation with tribe members in the mountains of central Panay, particularly in far-flung villages of Iloilo, Capiz and Antique provinces.
“The Army today is different. They open their camps for the IPs, they bring basic social services to our communities, and they have shown concern for us in times of disaster,” said PIPOL President Renato Casinao in the vernacular.
