10 Negros Occidental rebel returnees receive P150,000 in financial assistance

From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 28): 10 Negros Occidental rebel returnees receive P150,000 in financial assistance

Ten former rebels in Negros Occidental received P15,000 each in financial assistance under the Comprehensive Local Integration Program (CLIP) of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).

The rebel returnees received the assistance during the turnover rites led by Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. Wednesday at the Provincial Capitol.

Through the CLIP, the DILG aims to assist rebel returnees as they re-integrated into mainstream society, and help in the achievement of the goal of permanent and peaceful closure of all armed conflicts with non-state armed groups.

The turnover of assistance was witnessed by Provincial Planning and Development Officer Ma. Lina Sanogal, Provincial Health Officer Ernell Tumimbang, DILG Provincial Director Ma. Joy Marideth Madayag, Col. Francisco Delfin, commander of the Army’s 303rd Infantry Brigade, and Senior Superintendent William Señoron, acting director of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office.

In January this year, four rebel returnees in Negros Occidental also received livelihood assistance worth P50,000 each, or a total of P200,000 under the same program.
