MAGPET, COTABATO – The City Local Government Unit of Kidapawan, North Cotabato in partnership with 72nd Infantry Battalion has conducted a 4-day Peace Building Seminar and Peace Rally to more or less 180 residents who are former members and supporters of Underground Mass Organization (UGMOs) organized by the Communist Terrorist Groups coming from the Barangays of Sto Niňo, San Roque, Sikitan and Linangkob. The activity was held at Sikitan Elementary School in Brgy. Sikitan, Kidapawan with the support of Department of Education (DepEd) that commenced last Friday, from August 28-31, 2020.

It was piloted thru a succession of lectures, discussions, group activities, workshops, and consultations; and a sort of deradicalization for them to be re-oriented from communist ideologies and principles.
Furthermore, the activity was the result of the Community Support Program (CSP) Immersion of 72IB which will be sustained by the organized People’s Organization who were former UGMO members, supporters/sympathizers of the Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) that will be part and component of the Barangay-based Institution and the Integrated territorial Defense System (ITDS) of the barangay.
With the commitment and continuous support of CLGU-Kidapawan, they all provided the necessary materials and financial support needed particularly for the meals, snacks and transportation during the whole duration of the seminar.

With the help of 72IB, we will do our best to facilitate the smooth delivery of basic services and address the issues in your barangays.
