The municipalities of Calinog and Tubungan in the province of Iloilo were the first to establish municipal task forces (MTF) to end local communist armed conflict.
Director Teodora Sumagaysay of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Iloilo said the Calinog Municipal Peace and Order Council (MPOC) and Municipal Development Council (MDC) convened on Nov. 15 and passed a joint resolution creating the MTF to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC).
This was followed by the municipality of Tubungan on Nov. 19.
Calinog and Tubungan were among the six municipalities in Iloilo with barangays influenced by insurgents as reported by the Philippine Army.
The other municipalities were Alimodian, Maasin, Janiuay, and Lambunao.
Sumagaysay said Janiuay, Alimodian and Maasin already scheduled the joint meeting of their respective MPOCs and MDCs to establish their task forces.
Earlier this month, DILG-Iloilo convened the local chief executives and police chiefs of these six towns to brief them about President Rodrigo Duterte’s Executive Order No. 70 and their involvement in the implementation.
ELCACs would ensure the effective implementation of EO 70 which institutionalizes the whole-of-nation approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace.
Sumagaysay said another orientation will be conducted for the members of the Provincial Task Force ELCAC to deepen their understanding on their roles and also their involvement in the government’s efforts to end local insurgency.
Participants will be briefed on EO 70, Joint Circular Operationalizing EO 70 and the Retooled Community Support Program during the orientation tentatively set this week.
Sumagaysay said the PTF ELCAC will have 12 clusters of efforts in planning and harmonizing the government programs and services to be brought to these insurgency affected communities.
