Posted to Kalinaw News (Jan 21, 2021): Anti-Insurgency Program to Launch in Claveria Misamis Oriental
CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental – The 58th Infantry Dimalulupig Battalion in coordination with the municipality of Claveria facilitated a Needs Assessment and Site Survey at Sitio Kalhaan, Brgy Minalwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental the other day, January 19, 2021.
The said activity was participated by other government agencies namely, the Department of Agriculture Region X (DA R-X), Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Insititute (DAR-ATI), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Municipal Social Welfare Development (MSWD), University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (RDEO-USTP) and the local government unit of Claveria.
Sitio Kalhaan is a remote site in the Barangay of Minalwang, which has been deserted by its residents, Indigenous People – Higa-onon tribe for almost ten years now. The presence of the Communist Terrorist Group in the area, caused the Higa-onons to transfer from their hometown to neighboring sites such as Sitio Impadiding and Sitio Mintapod of Barangay Calabugao, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon.
According to DA Regional Director Carlene Collado, Sitio Kalhaan will be an adopted community of the DA R-X and by the Regional Management Committee (RMC); and will grant anything in its capability to assist the residents in improving their way of life. The support is in line with the implementation of Executive Order No. 70 (EO 70) or the Whole of the Nation Approach. The site inspection was made possible by the barangay officials and local government of Claveria headed by Hon. Mayor Meraluna Salvaleon Abrogar.
Meanwhile, Mayor Abrogar said, “In support to the implementation of Whole of the Nation approach, we will continue to uphold the value of public service for the people by rendering true service to our utmost ability thru the provision of livelihood programs and the delivery of basic services.”
In addition, Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB said, “Sitio Kalhaan was once a thriving community. But you were forced to leave your own homes and livelihoods because of the threat in your security brought by the oppression of the NPA rebels, as you had no desire to believe in their wrong ideologies. With the mandate of our government, we will do our best effort to get your life back here at Sitio Kalhaan. Rest assured that we at the 58IB, together with the Claveria LGU and other government agencies are your public servants for peace and development.”
