Baler, Aurora – Due to COVID-19 pandemic, all government instrumentalities down to the Barangay level are working hand-in-hand to prevent the escalation of this communicable disease.
With this, the national government through the Department of Agriculture (DA) launched “Plant, Plant, Plant Program” which aimed to enhance food security concerns amidst the country’s COVID-19 pandemic.
In connection with this, the Army’s 91st Infantry Battalion, 7ID, PA and the former rebels (FRs) acquired one (1) hectare of agricultural land through lease at Sitio Dimanagsag, Barangay Calabuanan, Baler, Aurora and jointly established “SINAGTALA Farm”.
The troops and FRs were able to plant a total of four thousand five hundred (4,500) chili and one hundred fifty (150) papaya in support to the said agency’s program on 04 June 2020.
LTC REANDREW P RUBIO INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of 91IB personally lauded the initiatives of his men for continuously helping the FRs.
“This is another classic example or good best practices wherein the troops and the FRs are engaged jointly in livelihood project. This another venture will surely benefit our FRs in order for them to effectively mainstream in the society not just to surrender,” RUBIO said.
@ Ninoy expressed his thanks and heartfelt gratitude to the SINAGTALA troopers for taking care of them especially during this crisis time.
“Itong mga livelihood programs kagaya ng broiler raising, duck raising, vegetable garden at itong bago na proyekto ay napakalaking tulong sa amin at ito na rin ang umpisa ng pagkaroon ng mapayapang buhay. At ako ay nanawagan sa aking mga kasamahan dati sa KLG Sierra Madre na sumuko na sa ating gobyerno para wakasan na itong hinaharap natin na insurhensiya,” Alias ka Ninoy said.
Likewise, COL ANDREW D COSTELO INF (GSC) PA, Commander 703rd Infantry Brigade, 7ID, PA appreciated the efforts of SINAGTALA troopers for this another livelihood project which really benefit our FRs and in the interest of public service.
“Rest assured that there will be another wave of livelihood projects to the FRs in close collaboration and coordination with different government agencies.
Again, I urge the remnants of KLG Sierra Madre to surrender and live peacefully with their loved ones,” COSTELO said.
COL ANDREW D COSTELO INF (GSC) PA, Commander, 703rd Infantry Brigade, 7ID, PA, lauded the successful conduct joint Anti-Illegal Logging Operations of the 91IB and PENRO AURORA.

We never tolerate such acts or any illegal acts whenever, whoever,” COSTELO said.
