24 members of the 1002nd Infantry Brigade, including CAFGUs and former rebels are set to undergo TESDA training to become agricultural crop production instructors.
MALUNGON, Sarangani, July 25 (PIA) - A new revolution has started inside the Army’s 1002nd Infantry “Bagwis” Brigade headquarters here as the military has transformed its indigenous peoples (IP) soldier to technical-vocational instructors.
A 10-day training for Agriculture Crop Production initiated by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) XII is expected to help the combatants launch another “attack,” this time not with guns but with tools for farming.
Trainees are 24 members of the brigade, including six members of the Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) and six former rebels turned community workers and working from the 1002nd brigade.
Colonel Potenciano Camba, commander of 1002nd brigade, said soldiers under his command are also community social workers and will not only carry guns but also educate communities in their jurisdiction.
“We are not just soldiers who will fight using our guns but we are also social workers in our communities,” Col. Camba said.
TESDA 12 Regional Director Rafael Y. Abrogar II lauded the soldiers and former rebels for their participation and for giving their effort to educate the various communities.
He stressed that despite COVID-19 pandemic, the services of TESDA and other government agencies will continue.
“This will be a training for war, a war against poverty, hunger, and the lack of opportunities,” director Abrogar said during the opening program.
The training program at the 1002nd Infantry Bridage is part of the IPEACE (Indigenous People Empowered as Agriprenuers towards a Collective End) Project, a flagship initiative of the Joint Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) XII.
IPEACE is a new approach in bringing peace and development in the region’s priority areas, by creating productive and sustainable communities.
IPEACE is currently being piloted in Barangay Alegria in Alabel, Sarangani; San Jose, General Santos City; Datal-blao in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat; Manobo in Magpet, Cotabato Province; and Ned in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. (TESDA XII/DED/PIAXII)
