As part of the agenda, WESCOM briefed on the Current Internal Security Situation of the province and cascaded the developments of the National Plan in Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (NP-ELCAC).
Further, the meeting was primarily focused in the creation of the Provincial Task Force ELCAC of the Province of Palawan which is a trailblazing feat for the province to implement Executive Order No. 70 of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte which aims to prioritize and harmonize the delivery of basic services and social development in the conflict affected areas and vulnerable communities, facilitates social inclusivity and ensure participation of all sectors.
VADM Medina acknowledged the initiative of the Provincial Government to establish PTF ELCAC in the Province as an enabling mechanism to operationalize the EO70.
“With the creation of TF-ELCAC in the province, we fervently hope that Palaweños will continue to unite and together address the root causes of the insurgency that hinders progress for the longest time. With this convergence, we will now be able to synchronize our efforts to end all forms of armed conflicts and attain a just and lasting peace in the Province”, said VADM Medina.
WESCOM is looking forward that all the municipalities will follow suit in order to accelerate the operationalization of EO70. COMWESCOM also encourages the Chief Executives of the Municipalities to do the same as we also assure our full commitment to the PTF-ELCAC in its resolve towards a CTG-Free Palawan.
“We, in Western Command, are more than hopeful to work with other lead agencies in providing the needed support to the different Task Forces at various levels in order for the Local Government Units to be empowered in ending the local communist armed conflict in the Province of Palawan”, VADM Medina added.
