The Army’s 64th Infantry Battalion (IB) launched a two-month Basic Computer Literacy Program in Basilan province to draw away the youth from violent extremism, an official said Wednesday.
Lt. Col. Renante Besa, 64IB commander, said the program that kicked-off Tuesday is being held in Barangay Tumahubong, Sumisip, Basilan.
Besa said 15 young people and five dependents of Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) surrenderers joined the program.
The program is also in support of the government’s campaign in educating the youth under the “new normal,” Besa said, adding the participants will be taught on basic computer operations as well as hardware maintenance and troubleshooting.
Besa said the program also prepares students for employment with computer literacy, as one of the competencies required, and insulate the youth from violent extremism.
“This action promotes and encourages the youths to enjoin us as catalysts of change and unity,” he said.
Meanwhile, the participants got fresh vegetables that were harvested from the 64IB’s Demo Farm in Barangay Tumahubong, Sumisip.
Besa said they harvested Tuesday some 70 kilos of Bottle Gourd from the Demo Farm that was established by the battalion in partnership with the Sumisip CARES Program and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.
