Municipal Task Forces-ELCAC in Northern Samar have found the best strategy in winning elusive peace - that is through peaceful means.
The Las Navas, Northern Samar Municipal Task Force-ELCAC led by Mayor Arlito Tan recently met in its pursuit to win peace in this part of the province using peaceful ways.
The said meeting meeting was highlighted with the send-off ceremony to the members of Retooled Community Service Program (RCSP) Teams who will undertake community support activities in the five (5) priority barangays of Las Navas, namely: Magsaysay, Perez, Quirino, San Antonio and San Francisco.
The event was graced by Colonel Zosimo Oliveros, the Commander of 803rd Infantry (Peacemaker) Brigade, Philippine Army who congratulated Mayor Tan for heeding the call of President Duterte to end local armed conflict in Las Navas.
In his message, Colonel Oliveros recognized that military approach is not a solution to the problem of insurgency. The real solution is addressing the root causes thru the delivery of social services.
These things will be made possible with the convergence of all agencies, otherwise known as “WoN” or the “Whole-of-Nation” approach with the LGU at the forefront, he added.
On the other hand, the Municipal Task Force-ELCACC of Mapanas, Northern Samar headed by Honorable Mayor Tom Tejano also is threading the same path to peace.
It also conducted a send off ceremony for its Retooled Community Service Program Team which headed for an immersion mission at its priority barangay, San Jose in the Middle of November.
The RCSP Teams of Mapanas and Las Navas will immerse to the aforementioned Brgys for months until the concerns of the barangays are gathered and the issues raised are addressed. (PIA 8)
