TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur – The Municipality of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur was added to the list after passing a resolution that declared the terror group, the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF), undesirable in the entire locality.
Resolution number 01-19 entitled “Declaring the CPP-NPA-NDF and their Associated Organizations as Persona Non- Grata” was passed during the joint meeting of the Hinatuan Municipal Peace and Order Council (MPOC) and Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) Meeting last April 30.
It was stated in the resolution that the constituents of the said municipality condemn all forms of terrorism, uphold their allegiance and support to the fight against terrorism, and renounces association with any terrorist group.
The declaration was positively received by the Punong Barangays (Barangay Captains) as well as various stakeholders in the municipality including the business sector. They said the move is just the first step in improving their peace and order and security condition as they strive to pursue socio-economic development programs that will benefit the people, especially from poor and marginalized communities. The tourism sector is expected to greatly benefit from improved peace and security situation of the municipality.
Lt. Col. Jaime Datuin whose battalion has operational jurisdiction of the municipality lauded the move and expressed optimism that neighboring municipalities will follow suit.
“Hinatuan’s move is proof that many municipalities and barangays have long desired to disassociate themselves from the communist- terrorists. The Philippine Army is optimistic that those who have been deceived and exploited by the CPP-NPA-NDF will be finally enlightened as to the true nature of these organizations,” Datuin said.
Hinatuan is a second class municipality of Surigao del Sur, Caraga Region, home of the world-famous "Enchanted River", located in Barangay Talisay that is said to be miraculous and attracts visitors locally and internationally. (Capt. Edwin Leo Francisco, 75IB CMO/PIA-Surigao del Sur)
