The success of persuading our fellow kababayans, who somehow chose to become members of eluding terrorists and are now enjoying the freedom and lasting peace with the government and their families, is through the extensive intelligence and counter propaganda efforts of our PNP personnel in coordination and support of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
It is also through dedication, hard work and love for our country that made this remarkably successful.
“This is a defining moment for all of us as we just recently launched the Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) in the Province of Samar that is designed to become an important component in our fight against insurgency. Just a week after its launching, significant accomplishment has been marked that connotes a positive impact to the community in attaining peace and development. I am very much delighted and positive enough that this prolonged adversity will now be addressed,” PBGen Balba said.
The surrenderees are now in the custody of the government for safekeeping and debriefing, documentation and proper disposition. They will be endorsed to avail of the government’s assistance program for returnees, the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP). (PRO-8, RPIO)
