BUNAWAN, Davao City — The Goverment gives Php1.5 Million worth of cash assistance to 14 Former Rebels in a ceremony yesterday, August 7, at the Davao City Police Station, San Pedro St., Camp Captain Domingo E. Leonor.
“Everyone can change, I thank you for surrendering and you must use your resources well for the development of the family,” read Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio’s message. She was represented by City Administrator Atty. Zulieka T. Lopez.
1003rd Infantry Brigade Commander Brigadier General Nolasco Mempin advised the beneficiaries to use the money judiciously and wisely. He also urged the rebels who are still in the mountain to return to the folds of the law to avail the benefits and other services the Goverment offers.
Further, he said communism is a dying ideology. It only brought misery and sufferings to the country and to the people.
Each Former Rebel received an amount of Php 50,000.00 for livelihood assistance, and Php 15,000.00 as immediate assistance.
Moreover, additional cash was awarded as firearms remunerations. The amount for this depends on the barrel and serviceability of the firearm that the FR surrendered.
The Government has doubled the monetary equivalents of the awards of some of the FRs, since there are FRs who have tendered numerous high caliber firearms.
This effort is part of the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program. Other attendees of the ceremony were 3rd Infantry Battalion Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Juvenal Mark Tayamen, 27th Infantry Battalion Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Victorino Seño; City Director of DCPO PCOL Kirby John Kraft and Davao City DILG Director Vicky Sarcena.
