CABADBARAN CITY, Agusan del Norte, Mar. 9 -- The troops of the 29th Infantry (MATATAG) Battalion (29IB), Philippine Army together with other local government agencies of Agusan del Norte recently provided various health services to the former rebels at the 29th headquarters, Brgy. Del Pilar, this city.
The provincial government of Agusan del Norte headed by Governor Dale B. Corvera through its program dubbed as “Sagip Kalusugan sa Barangay Medical Dental Outreach“ and the Provincial Social Welfare Development (PSWD) along with the Cabadbaran City Health Office and other dental and medical doctors provided various health services and distributed hygiene kits and food packs to the families of former rebels.
It can be recalled that on February 9, 2020, Agusan del Norte Rep. Ma. Angelica Rosedell Amante-Matba visited the former rebels where she asked what their concerns were. The latter raised issues regarding health, among others. She immediately coordinated with the concerned agencies and asked for the availability of the health services.
According to 29IB Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Isagani O. Criste, the government now truly has changed a lot. "Yes, they still fall short at times, but understand that they too aren’t perfect, they too are still in the process of changing the old ways. But I know, and I hope you too could feel that they’re doing their best to provide its people with the help and support they need. We just need to support our government, and never forget to help ourselves too, so we do not add to the burdens being carried by our government,” he said.

“Where could you see such government, whom after being betrayed by its people, because they’ve allowed themselves to be deceived by the enemy’s sweet lies, still has the compassion for its people and even give them chances and an opportunity to once again live a normal life? That is what a true government is, and not the ones which you once subscribed to which only destroys lives and shatters futures,” Criste ended. (1Lt. Miguel O.
