Governor Carlos Padilla, PPOC and PADAC chairman, said each cluster will craft its own plans and acitivities in line with the National Peace Framework through Executive Order No. 70.

“The cluster heads will soon present their activities during our meetings so that we can be abreast with the present situations and we can further plan to address peace and order issues and concerns in various areas,” he said.

Padilla said one of the major focus of the PTF-ELCAC will be the gathering of socio-economic issues and concerns being confronted by communities and to carry out development interventions of various agencies to address them.

“Communities or barangays especially in remote areas will be prioritized with the implementation of the ELCAC so that we can ensure their socio-economic development,” he added. (ALM/MDCT/BME/PIA 2-Nueva Vizcaya)
