PPOC supports RPA sites

From the Visayan Daily Star (Nov 13): PPOC supports RPA sites

The Negros Occidental Provincial Peace and Order Council yesterday passed a resolution supporting the Peace and Development Community sites for the resettlement of members of the Rebolusyonaryong Partido ng Manggagawa–Pilipinas/Revolutionary Proletarian Army/Alex Boncayao Brigade   Tabara-Paduano Group.

The resettlement sites are in Brgy. Locotan, Kabankalan City; Brgy. Bagonbon, San Carlos City; and Brgy. Celestino Villacin, Cadiz City, Provincial Planning and Development Office Marlin Sanogal said.

The resolution is needed for the release by the national government for the resettlement funds as part of its peace closure agreement with the RPMP-RPA-ABB.

Another resolution identifying the sites of the congregated areas for the group in EB Magalona to be in Brgy. Gawahon, Victorias City and an alternate site to be scouted for the group in La Castellana since the original site has been sold by the owner to a private person was also approved.

Also approved at the PPOC meeting presided by Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. at Nature's Village Resort in Talisay City are the proposed programs, projects and activities for funding under the Peace and Order Fund for 2016 amounting to P50 million.

This list will then be submitted for the concurrence of the Negros Occidental Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Sanogal said.

The PPOC is also allocating a P2 million counterpart fund for PAMANA-Department of Interior and Local Government projects, she added.
