“We have been longing for peace and order for so long a time, and we believed that it can only be done through arms and violence. Now, the government is showing how serious it is to combat armed conflict in the most peaceful means possible - through a whole of nation approach with the involvement not only of the Armed Forces of the Philippines but also of the Philippine National Police, the local government unit and the people,” said Manero.
She also thanked the punong barabngays for taking the courage to stand up as she further commended Municipal Local Government Operations Officer Renato Landazabal for his commitment to cascade initiatives to the barangay level and for bridging the realizations of the project.
“Now, the challenge lies on the Punong Barangays, to us at the LGU -- to sustain the record and the recognition,” said Manero as she expressed in behalf of Mayor Francisco Calvo their continued commitment to support all projects, programs, and endeavors of the government to keep and maintain peace in their municipality.
