MALAYBALAY CITY, Bukidnon --The dynamic involvement of local government unit leaders and civil society groups in the recent assembly at Kaamulan Folk Arts Theater in Malaybalay City in support of the Executive Order 70, strengthened the Task Force ELCAC in carrying out its mission.
Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar conveyed the message via phone emphasizing the government’s resolve to end the local communist rebellion.
“This is in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s Executive Order No. 70 which institutionalizes a ‘whole-of-nation approach’ versus insurgency,” Andanar said.
The Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) in region 10, leads around 300 barangay leaders, mayors, civil society groups, including national and local government heads in doing their share during the “Validation of Needs” workshop at Kaamulan Folk Arts Theater, Malaybalay City. As directed in Executive Order No. 70, the assemblage seeks to round up thoughts, ideas, and detailed outlines that describe the roots of communist insurgency so those various governing bodies would know how to deal with real issues.

Led by the Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) in region 10, around 300 barangay leaders, mayors, civil society groups, including national and local government heads did their share during “Validation of Needs” workshop within the day of the assembly.
The assemblage seeks to round up thoughts, ideas, and detailed outlines that describe the roots of communist insurgency so those various governing bodies would know how to deal with it, considering the scope of setbacks in addressing peace and order issues.
In the pre-workshop briefing, Armed Forces of the Philippines 4th Infantry Division commander Major General Franco Nemesio Gacal said a “purely military option in combating terrorism and extremism” is not enough.
“Guns and cannons can’t do the job alone. All agencies aboard should do its share in ending communist insurgency across the country. Neither the armed forces nor any law enforcement squad alone can conquer insurgence. We need the support of all the stakeholders, the local government units,” Gacal said.
The National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA), in the same session, emphasized the value of information and communication to create healthy and peaceful communities.
“We need to inform and let people know what the government has been doing for them. The people, especially those in geographically isolated and conflict-affected areas, must be updated on various projects and programs that will benefit them. We also need to upgrade our communications system. People should know that everyone cares,” Plormelinda Olet, NICA-10 deputy director said.
Meanwhile, LGUs and community stakeholders’ workshop output showed poverty topped in the list on “why insurgency lives on.” Conversely, the list also showed that “the root cause of poverty is insurgency.”
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Northern Mindanao regional director Mylah Faye Aurora Cariño said “despite continuing triumphs of security forces in battlefields, beating the enemies spin in vain due to the recurrence of stubborn poverty.”
Hence, the government fortifies its counterterror scheme by creating NTF-ELCAC stipulated in Executive Order No. 70 (EO 7O) signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in December 2018, she said.
“The whole of nation approach is not new. We have been working hard for this in the past, but all weave in a slow marching step due to lack of synchronization of some agencies’ plans and programs to combat insurgency. Now we have EO 70 to make it happen,” Cariño said.
