A one-day summit among the Regional Task Forces to End Local Communist Armed Conflict in the Visayas Island, is scheduled for October 16, 2019 in Cebu City.
The Visayas leg composed of Regions 6, 7 and 8 will be participated by the respective regional CORDS, RTF Vice Chairpersons, Heads of the RTF Technical Working Groups, RTF Secretariats, CORDS Advisers and Regional Cluster Heads.
During the island summit, the National Task Force-ELCAC Secretariat is expected to provide updates on the NTF-ELCAC undertakings and issued guidelines.
The Regional Task Forces, on the other hand, through their Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security (CORDS) will present the updates, accomplishments and issues and concerns in line with the implementation of the National Plan-ELCAC, Regional Plans and their respective cluster implementation plans.
To recall, President Duterte in December of 2018, signed Executive Order No. 70 which institutionalizes the whole-of-nation approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace.
The executive order also created a National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict to ensure efficient and effective implementation of the whole-of-nation approach.
It also directed the adoption of a National Peace Framework which defines and clusters interventions into 12 government lines of efforts.
Since its implementation, numerous Task Force-ELCAC have been organized in various levels, regional, provincial, city, municipal and barangay, all over the country. (PIA-8)
