VALENCIA CITY, Bukidnon -- The Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC) of Northern Mindanao held a peace dialogue with members of indigenous people (IP) communities in San Fernando, Bukidnon which are identified as recruitment ground of the Communist Party of the Philippines- New People’s Army (CPP-NPA).

During the dialogue, the IPs were clarified on the wrong ideology of CPP-NPA and the tactics used by the communist movement to discredit the government and encourage IPs to join them in their armed struggle.

They were also informed of there are government programs to assist them and that the government will always respond to the needs of their communities.

The dialogue, held July 24 at the Valencia City Police Station, was organized by the Situation Analysis and Knowledge Management (SAKM) Cluster of ELCAC-10 as part of the intensified campaign to end conflict caused by local communist groups.

SAKM Cluster chair and National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA-10) Director Manuel Orduña said the dialogue and other local peace initiatives are effective tools in encouraging more NPA members to lay down their arms and return to the folds of the law.(APB/PIA10)
