TACLOBAN CITY, Nov. 23 (PIA) -- The Municipality of Gandara is the latest Samar town to have organized a Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict pursuant to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s EO70.

Earlier, in February of 2019, Gandara passed a resolution declaring the CPP-NPA persona non grata.

The creation of the Gandara Municipal Task Force-ELCAC was done on November 21, 2019, during a joint meeting of the Municipal Peace and Order Council and the Municipal Development Council composed of the Sangunian Bayan members, Department Heads and Punong Barangays. Also in attendance was the 87th Infantry (HINIRANG) Battalion under the leadership of LTC Reynaldo Balido Jr., the commanding officer.

Mayor Eufemio Oliva, in approving the creation of the Gandara MTF-ELCAC, underscored the need to unite the efforts of all stakeholders in addressing the root causes of the insurgency problem.

He exhorted all the members especially the Punong Barangays, to actively take part in the implementation of EO 70 by also organizing their respective Barangay Task Forces.

Before the creation of the municipal task force, the joint council composed of the Sangunian Bayan members, Department Heads and Punong Barangays, were briefed on EO 70 and the extent of CTG infiltration in the bureaucracy by the members of the Situation Awareness and Knowledge Management (SAKM) Cluster of RTF8-ELCAC headed by NICA-8.
