IMPASUGONG, Bukidnon – Teaching and non-teaching personnel of a school in Malaybalay City formed a core group to combat New People's Army (NPA) recruitment.
Teachers of Malaybalay City National Science High School organized the “SANDIGAN Teachers" to support students’ activities for peace promotion and combat communist insurgency.
SANDIGAN Teachers, in collaboration with other core groups of parents and students, aims to oversee the welfare of the students to prevent them from being lured by the Communist NPA Terrorists.
School Principal Paul Orong expressed support to the group saying the school will support all activities important in honing the youth to become productive individuals of the community.
"Wherever we look at, every success and failure of an individual finds its roots from the family. And we are part of that family. We must see to it that we contribute to their success and not on their failures,” he added.
Lieutenant Colonel Ronald Illana, commanding officer of the 8th Infantry Battalion, cited the importance of the community in the advocacy.
“We believe that through the genuine commitment of our schools, teachers, parents and students, we will be able to prevent unwanted loss of innocent lives. Our children are our future. We need to build them strong and resilient. Thus, we must not allow the NPAs to touch them and use them for their personal interests,” he said.
Illana said they are optimistic that the positive actions from the students, parents, teachers and the schools, will be a big help in protecting children and the whole community from CNT recruitment. (8IB)
