From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 11): PA: anti-insurgency campaign needs community support
The Philippine Army (PA) said that community involvement is vital in the fight against insurgency and terrorism.
In a press conference held recently, Captain Eduard Precioso Jr., public information officer of the 301st Infantry Brigade (3rd Infantry Division) based in Dingle, Iloilo, appealed for the public’s cooperation to address the continuing threat of terrorism and insurgency amid ongoing recruitment activities of the New People's Army (NPA) in Western Visayas.
"Hindi naman natin kailangang makipaglaban sa government to resolve our issues. Why not give peaceful resolution a chance doon sa problema ng insurgency," he said.
He said the NPA recruitment process involves the emphasis of negative issues about the government particularly the supposed failure to reduce poverty.
"Yung mga information na problema natin sa government, ipaabot natin sa tamang ahensya para masolusyunan ng ating mga ahensya," he said.
He added that they are further strengthening their communication lines with the community to help resolve the insurgency problem.
