“Ngayon nandito na kayo, titiyakin namin ang inyong seguridad hanggang sa inyong pagbabalik sa ating shudad." - Now, that you are here we will make sure that you are secure until such time that you will be able to go back to the community, Tiangson added.
Tiangson emphasized, “Malaya na kayo sa sibilisasyon ng Kumunistang Groupo- New People’s Army at magkakaroon ng bagong pag-asa.” - You are now liberated from the bondage of the rebel group the New People’s Army therefore you have the choice to live a new life.)
