BALER, Aurora- Eight (8) former rebels (FRs) and Thirteen (13) soldiers under the 91st Infantry (Sinagtala) Battalion, Philippine Army earned Technical Education and Skills Authority (TESDA) National Certificates (NC II) on driving training under training for work scholarship program (TWSP) at 91stIB, Bayanihan Hall, Barangay Calabuanan in this capital town of Aurora on Tuesday (September 1, 2020).
LTC REANDREW P RUBIO INF (GSC), Commanding Officer of 91st IB said that the training started on July 22, 2020 and ended last August 14, 2020, however, the graduation ceremony formally started at 9a.m. inside the camp today.
The graduates endured 118 hours of skills training and assessments under the supervision of TESDA Aurora Provincial director Genaro Ronald C. Ibay, and PTC Baler Center Administrator Engr. Lazaro B. Solis, Jr.
“We are so thankful for the support and services provided by TESDA to our unit especially in the conduct of livelihood and skills trainings which benefited by Former Rebels, exploited local populace, and even our troops. We will continue to collaborate and partner with TESDA, LGUs, and other NGAs in the delivery of basic services and resolve the issues being exploited by the Communist Terrorist Groups and its Sectoral Front Organizations,” LTC RUBIO said.
He furthered that more skills training intended for the FRs and soldiers, who are partners in intensifying integrated territorial defense system, will be conducted through the teamwork of committed government agencies actively supporting the Whole-of-Nation Approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict by activating their respective Local Task Forces to End Insurgency and by promoting the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) for rebel surrenderees.
As part of the Whole-of-Nation Approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, TESDA Aurora Provincial Director Ibay told the former rebels to help the government convince their former comrades to go down and surrender.
He added that since the graduates have experienced the program by themselves, PD Ibay appealed to the FR’s friends or relatives who might still be in the armed struggle, to surrender.
“Please tell them how good this program of the government is for someone who wants to live life in peace. We are delivering the necessary government services for those in the conflict-affected areas for peace,” Ibay said.
Arnel Llimbo, one of the former rebels said that he is very thankful to the TESDA and 91st IB for the program given to them.
“We were given the chances to learn. We will apply what we learned in the training. We will use it to start again with our family,” Llimbo said.
After the simple ceremony, distribution of training allowance was conducted for the graduates.
