SAN JOSE, Antique – Former rebels (FRs) in Antique who returned to the folds of the law were given livelihood projects and social protection packages by various government agencies.
Twenty FRs are under the care of the Philippine National Police Regional Intelligence Group 6 while the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) is still on process.
Antique Consultant on Peace and Order and Public Safety Margie Gadian emphasized the commitment of the provincial government and other government agencies to ensure that those who have decided to return to the folds of the law are assisted so they could return to normal and peaceful lives.
The first batch of 11 FRs already availed themselves of livelihood projects from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) while the remaining nine are still in process.
Most of them opted to venture into livestock (carabao/cattle), swine and poultry raising while others are into sari-sari stores.
The project for the remaining nine FRs are still in process.
Aside from the livelihood support, they also received financial assistance from the provincial government and their respective municipalities through their program Aid to Individual in Crisis Situation.
For Social Protection Packages, PhilHealth Antique assured them of their benefits and privileges under the Universal Health Care Law.
The Provincial Health Office also assured them of medical assistance in partnership with Rural Health Units and district hospitals where they are located and the Medical Assistance Fund from the provincial government and office of House Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda. (PIA-Antique/PN)
