Bai Mariam Sangki Mangudadatu known as ‘Agila of Maguindanao’ together with Major General Juvymax Uy, Commander of 6th Infantry (KAMPILAN) Division spearheaded the launching of “Malasakit ng Agila” program during the 34th founding anniversary celebration of 602nd Infantry (LIBERATOR) Brigade in Camp Lucero, Carmen, North Cotabato on November 30, 2020.

“As your former 6ID Commander, I am truly happy to take part in this launching of the “Malasakit ng Agila” program or Agila Haven, which means “Anak na may Ginintuang Layunin upang Hintuan Ang Violent Extremism Ngayon” that aims to address violent extremism in the province of Maguindanao and the concerns of former rebels upon their return to the folds of the government”. This is an excerpt from the message of Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana PA, Commanding General of Philippine Army as the guest of honor and speaker delivered by Maj. Gen. Uy in behalf of him.

Maguindanao Governor Mangudadatu stressed that the series of surrender of the former rebels is another positive outcome of the current efforts through the Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) program in support to the national government’s peace and development agenda.

“Ako po ay nasisiyahan dahil sa ginawa ninyong desisyon na magbalik loob sa gobyerno at mamuhay ng tahimik kasama ang inyung mga anak, apo at mga mahal sa buhay na walang takot”, the lady governor, said.

Three beneficiaries from Northern Kabuntalan, Pagalungan and Datu Montawal received a livelihood assistance during the distribution of Farm Implements to the former rebels.

Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Uy and BGen Roberto Capulong, Commander of 602nd Brigade led the 34th founding anniversary of the Brigade, wherein they awarded deserving Liberator Troops and stakeholders, for their exemplary performances in service to the nation.

“I would like to commend the leadership of BGen Roberto Capulong as the Commander of a Liberator Brigade. Likewise, let us never forget the sacrifices of all our soldiers who became part of this institution” said Maj. Gen. Uy.

In his message, BGen Capulong stressed that the 602nd Brigade is already sailing on a clear heading, using the right operational approach to reach the brigade’s destination. He further urged everyone to work together as a team.

“Our theme ‘Liberator @34: Kaagapay sa Pagbigkis-Lahi ng Kristiyano, Moro at Katutubo tungo sa Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran’ epitomizes the overarching desire of every member of 602Bde to forge communities regardless of tribe, values, culture and religion to live peacefully and harmoniously” BGen Capulong said in his anniversary note.
