MALUSO, Basilan – The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPPAP) conducted a ‘Serbisyo Caravan’ in the Municipality of Maluso where they donated two hundred eighty two (282) sacks of rice to the beneficiaries, conducted community consultation, as well as problem-solving sessions, here in Barangay Tubigan last Saturday, 28 November 2020.
The OPAPP is a government agency which handles peace talks and negotiations related to internal conflict such as the CPP-NPA-NDF, and other peace-inclined armed groups in the southern Philippines such as the MNLF and MILF. During the ‘Serbisyo Caravan’ spearheaded by Mr. Peter P. Cheng, facilitators from OPAPP conducted a workshop to address community issues and gather inputs with regard to agriculture, socio-economic, education, health, infrastructure development and peace building.
Mr. Manny Muarip, the Provincial Administrator of Basilan, applauds the collaborative effort of the LGU, PNP and AFP in sustaining peace, not only of Maluso, but of Basilan Province as a whole.
“Nang dahil sa sundalo at kapulisan, napakalaki na ang pinagbago ng imahe ng Basilan. Kahit saan, kahit sino na ang puwedeng bumisita rito,” Mr. Muarip said.
First Lieutenant Alvin K Balancod, the Commanding Officer of the 14th Special Forces Company based in Maluso, reassures the public of his unit’s commitment in sustaining peace in the Municipality.
“Kung walang kapayapaan wala ring kaunlaran, kung walang kaunlaran wala ring kapayapaan. Dapat magkasabay ang dalawa,” 1LT Balangcod expressed.
Hon. Hanie A Bud, the Municipal Mayor of Maluso, summarized the activity with a very informative discussion, engaging all the sectors of the community.
“Dati ang Maluso ay hindi nakikita sa mapa. Ngunit ngayun, ito ay dinadayo na ng iba’t ibang turista galing sa ibang lugar”, Mayor Bud said.
Also present during the activity were ARD Bonifacio Pulgo of NICA IX, BARMM Ministry officers and representatives, heads of the different Provincial Offices, other Municipal and Barangay leaders, and the PNP.
