TALACOGON, Agusan del Sur – The members of Guadalupe United Farmers Association (GUFA) del Sur has taken their oath of allegiance to the government during the conduct of Grand Pulong- pulong at Barangay Guadalupe, Esperanza Agusan del Sur, Saturday afternoon, July 11, 2020.
GUFA members, who are former victims of deceiving propaganda from the Communist NPA Terrorist (CNT) through its allied organization, Nagkahiusang Mag-uuma sa Agusan del Sur (NAMASUR), finally sworn their allegiance to the government keeping themselves far from the propaganda of leftist organizations.
The activity was witnessed by Mayor Leonida P. Manpatilan who also presided the activity, together with her Sangguniang Bayan members lead by Vice Mayor Eric G. Siohan and municipal head departments from Agriculture, Social Welfare and Development, Agrarian Reform Office, and Municipal Local Government Operation – DILG.
During her speech, Mayor Manpatilan emphasized the importance of having an organization that will merely represent them as a whole. She also warned them to be always cautious in joining organizations which may bring them in peril. “It’s good that all of you had already awakened that NAMASUR is only using you all for their evil plans against the government. Now that you already have your own organization, you have to take good care of it that it will not be influenced by any person whose intention is only to bring chaos and conflict, Mayor Manpatilan said.
“Just approach us in a proper way for all of your issues and concerns as GUFA. Not in a way of protests or rallies like what the NAMASUR had teached you. For we are obliged as a public servant to address all your request especially now we are confident that all of your requested projects and programs will be benefitted by the true members of your organization”, she added.
The ceremonial signing of manifest by all the GUFA members in connection to their loyalty and allegiance to the government is also highlighted. “Magkahiusa kita alang sa tinuod nga kalinaw, kay ang susi sa atong pag asenso ang pakighiusa nato sa atong gobyerno”, Mrs. Eugenia O. Neri said, former secretary of NAMASUR in Barangay Guadalupe.
Relatively, in a statement, Lt Col Reynald Romel Goce, 26IB commanding officer said, “Hopefully, this will be the start of their true commitment in supporting our government. Their initiative will be the only key for lasting peace and development within their area and themselves, and with the support of the local government of Esperanza through EO70, I’m confidently sure that it will be achieved”.
