BUTUAN CITY, Sept. 2 (PIA) -- The former rebels in Agusan del Norte are among the sectors who joined in the training of trainers (TOTs) for Organic Agriculture.
Alias Henry, who surrendered to the 29th Infantry Battalion (29IB), Philippine Army was one of the active participants who was eager to share his learnings to the locals in the priority barangays.
Unlike his previous experience while still in the New People’s Army (NPA) movement where he usually used deadly weapons or firearms, alias Henry now equipped himself with the right information and knowledge on organic agriculture as a way to sustain his daily living.
“For those who are still in the NPA movement, please surrender and let’s unite and work together for our future. Do not allow yourselves to become victims of abuse and exploitation of the NPA,” said alias Henry.
This training on organic farming is part of the PEACE (People Empowerment in Agriculture for Community Enterprise) Project initiated by the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC).
It also forms part of the government’s strategies for the poverty reduction, livelihood and employment cluster with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as the lead agency, which intends to curb the insurgency problem in the region.
“I am ready and willing to impart my knowledge especially in producing an organic fertilizer that will help us in our demo farm,” bared PFC Reymar Aballe of 23rd Infantry Battalion.
“With the help of our trainers, locals would be able to learn how to sustain food for their family from their own backyard in their respective community. By October, we expect that the demo farm will be accredited by the Agricultural Training Institute, so that by November, TESDA could also accredit it as a farm school,” underscored Dir. Rey Cueva of TESDA-Agusan del Norte.
Alias Henry also called on the youth not to be deceived by the wrong ideologies and false propaganda of the NPA communist terrorist group.
“Do not allow yourselves to be deceived by the wrong ideologies of the NPA making you believe that they have the solutions to your problems,” alias Henry said.
After this training, participants will be deployed to the identified barangays of the province to help locals and enhance their skills, particularly on organic agriculture with an aim to help uplift their lives and have an option for sustainable livelihood. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
