Gov. Roel Degamo has directed all local government units (LGUs) particularly those affected by the insurgency to create local anti-insurgency task forces to counter communists issues.
The governor made the call shortly after the creation of the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC) to the seven LGUs where most of the recent killings were executed by suspected Communist New People’s Army Terrorist Groups (CNTGs). The task force identified the cities and municipalities affected by CNTG, including the cities of Canlaon and Guihulngan and municipalities of Sta. Catalina, Zamboanguita, Siaton, Valencia, and Ayungon.
Heads of line agencies comprising the Negros Oriental Task Force to End Local Commu-nist Armed Conflict (NOTF ELCAC) convened on Aug. 7 and created the 12 clusters that will implement strategies to resolve issues that contribute to the insurgency problem in the province.
Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and Vice Gov. Dr. Mark Macias spearheaded the seminar-workshop on creating the 12 clusters of NOTF ELCAC held at the Visionaire’s Lounge, Provincial Convention Hotel. The top five issues linked to insurgency are Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARB) issues, non-issuance of tenurial instrument by concerned agency, lack of coordination of different agencies particularly on issuance of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and senior citizens cards, inadequate information campaign efforts, and inclusion and exclusion on the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), poor access roads, and poor infrastructure support facilities.
