SAN FERNANDO CITY, Jan. 31 (PIA) -- The Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC-1) approved on Wednesday a resolution declaring the Province of Pangasinan cleared of CPP/NPA/NDF affectation, thus insurgency-free.
In an excerpt of the minutes of the meeting of the council, the resolution’s approval was based on a Joint Letter Directive No. 3 amended in 2016, on parameters achieved by the province in order for the priority area to be considered cleared.
Further, it was evaluated by the Area Clearing Evaluation Board (ACEB) and validated by the Area Clearing Validation Committee (ACVC).
PANGASINAN IS INSURGENCY-FREE: RPOC-1 Head Secretariat and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Director James F.

“Based on the ACEB meeting in September 2018 which was presided by Board Chairperson and assistant division commander of 71D BGen. Lenard T. Agustin, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the evaluation resulted to a positive response that there are no CPP/NPA/NDF established in the area,” read RPOC-1 head secretariat and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Director James F. Fadrilan.
He added, “In the same discussion in a meeting of the ACVC held at the DILG Region 1 Office in June 2019 to validate the results, the committee approved of the motion to declare the province as insurgency-free. The assembly was presided by Col. Doroteo Jose M Jalandoni, Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) with DILG and RPOC-1 members as attendees."
The ACVC resolution was also jointly approved by NOLCOM Commander LtGen. Ramiro Manuel A Rey, AFP and Directorate for Police Operations-Northern Luzon (DIPO-NL).
On a joint motion by MGen. Agustin and League of Municipalities of the Philippines – Pangasinan Chapter President Leopoldo N. Bataoil and unanimously seconded by the body, the matter was elevated to the RPOC-1 for approval of a resolution.
With the matters been discussed and approved by the body, Dir. Fadrilan certified and signed RPOC Resolution No. 1, Series of 2020 which was attested by RPOC-1 Chairperson and La Union Governor Emmanuel Francisco R. Ortega III at the Diego Silang Hall of the Provincial Capitol.
“As long as we unite our hands together to fight insurgency, I, as the chairperson of the committee, will fully support the programs of President Rodrigo Duterte on peace and order to provide a better and safer place to live for our constituents here in the Ilocos region,” said Governor Ortega.
The declaration of Pangasinan province as insurgency-dree is only one of the confirmations of the whole-of-the-nation approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace by means of ending local communist armed conflict in the communities. (JCR/JNPD/AHFF/PIA1)
