BALER, Aurora-Supporting the Executive Order 70 will continue to strengthen the Task Force to End Local Communist Conflict (TF-ELCAC) in carrying out its mission according to top military official in this province.
LTC REANDREW P RUBIO INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of 91st Infantry (Sinagtala) Battalion, 7ID, PA hold an assembly with the tribal leaders, police and the army in coordination with National Intelligence Coordination Agency (NICA RO3) on Thursday (August 13, 2020) and discussed the whole-of-nation approach of the government to resolve and to end local armed conflict in this province.
During the consultation, the tribal communities shared their sad experiences and detailed various issues and concerns on land problems being exploited by the CPP-NPA-NDF.
LTC RUBIO in his response said that the concerned agencies are here to address land problems including peace and order issues.
“Our government is the right agency to solve your land problems. All agencies concerned are doing their share to the fullest level in ending communist insurgency across the country… everyone cares,” he said, adding the value of information and communication to create healthy and peaceful communities.
He furthered that the Sinagtala Battalion is always open to help them in their grievances and concerns on land issues.
“No need to worry, it is our mandate to help you to the fullest level to solve your problems so that you will not be deceived by the Communist Organizations. You are in the right direction to air your land problem issues as the government is willing to help you to address the matter,” he said.
He added that they are also doing Community Support Program (CSP) as part of the government’s continuing effort to be more responsive to the needs of the communities.
The army official also appealed not to entertain the NPA, in so doing, the government’s enemy will not come back in their ancestral land.
LTC RUBIO also said that the Executive Order number 70 is everyone’s concern to achieve the mission.
“Let us all end insurgency, we dismantled the Komiteng Larangan Gerilya (KLG) Caraballo and Larangang Gerilya sa Patag 1 in our pursuit to end the local communist armed conflict here in Central Luzon. Now, they are dwindling in numbers. We are one in our mission to end armed conflicts in our AOR,” LTC RUBIO said.
