SAN MIGUEL, Surigao del Sur — A military Community Support Program (CSP) team was sent to radicalized areas in San Miguel last 13 August 2020.
The Local Government Unit of San Miguel and the 75th Infantry “Marauder” Battalion (75IB) deployed the CSP Team to stop New People’s Army from exploiting, radicalizing, and extorting Indigenous People’s (IP) communities in the area.
“This will greatly assist the LGU to identify the concerns of the community, to help deliver the government services in the far-flung areas, and stop the exploitation of IP by preventing NPA recruitment in the community,” said San Miguel Municipal Mayor Hazel H Elizalde.
Meanwhile, 75IB Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Villarosa said, “Your Philippine Army will be working on your areas to address peace and security concerns. They will also help facilitate the safe delivery of local government agencies’ services in distant and conflict-affected sitios. Our aim is to bring the government closer to the people.”
The CSP Team’s Send-Off Ceremony was attended by San Miguel Indigenous People Mandatory Representative Hawudon Rico Maca, local government agencies, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection and Barangay Captains of the municipality.
“This Send-Off Ceremony of our CSP Team is our way of showing our noble intention and respect to the local government units, and tribal leaders of San Miguel,” said Lt Col Villarosa.
The deployment of the CSP Team will bridge the gap of government services to far-flung communities in order to foster the foundation for economic and human development in the area.
