From Kalinaw News (Feb 7, 2021): Government-in-Action: AFP, PNP, LGU continues their efforts in ending Insurgency in MisOr



CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental – The 58th Dimalulupig Infantry Battalion participated in the Hatod Serbisyo (Hat-on Serbisyo) program of the Local Government unit of Claveria and the Philippine National Police, Police Regional Office – 10 to the residents of Barangay Minalwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental, February 4, 2021.

This outreach program is in relation to Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict in the area by winning the hearts and minds of the people. As part of their initiative, said government officials and institutions facilitated the giving of food packs, medicine kits, hygiene kits, slippers, and other essentials.

According to Brigadier General Rolando B Anduyan, Police Regional Director X, “This is only just the beginning. With the help of LGU Claveria and our counterpart in the Army, we will make sure to carry out these kinds of activities regularly and even come up with plans to further the development of the community, so that we can attain long lasting peace that we all yearn for.”

“Us in the security services have undergone many wars before. And after every war, we don’t determine who wins and who loses. Because at the end of every war is a definite loss for all of us. There is no victory in wars, only defeat, since it does no good to people. Must we continue the young and old to suffer? Don’t we pity our families and children who are greatly affected with the wars we have? Let us stop right here. Let us cooperate. Let us put an end to armed conflict in our area and instead seek for peace and development. Each one of us can contribute. As residents, you can contribute by showing your support to the government and condemn the Communist NPA Terrorists (CNTs); by not joining and supporting their cause. As to the private sector, we invite you to contribute by carrying out your social responsibility to the community. Altogether, let us unite and help each other in ending the local communist armed conflict in all of Region X.” PBGEN Anduyan added.

Meanwhile, Hon. Joecard S. Dalman, Peace and Order Council Chair, Claveria, appraised the activity and extended his gratitude on behalf of the LGU Claveria for conducting the said activity for the residents and lumads of Barangay Minalwang. “Lahi ra jud kaayo sa unang panahon kay kung makakita kita dinhing dapita sa kapulisan ug kasundaluhan, gubat gubat atong mahuna hunaon. Karon, gubat gihapon.. gubat sa serbisyo labi na sa mga katawhang Lumad diri sa Minalwang. Naningkamot mi sa kunanay na makasuporta sa mga programa aron maabot nato ang kahusay ug kalinaw na atong ginapangandoy sukad pa sa una, na karon hapit na gyud nato maabot.

Ang budget sa Peace and Order Plan sa Claveria niabot na ug 24M ang gibahin karong tuiga. Gituyo kani namo aron sa kanunay, masuportahan ang mga kalihukan ug aktibidades para sa kahusay ug kalinaw sa Claveria. Mga igsoon, kini tanan na mga programa para ni sa inyohang tanan. Sinsero ang gobyerno sa pag atuman sa atong mga kinahanglan. Nangandoy ra mi sa inyong suporta ug tiwala. Unta, magtinabangay tang tanan.”

Moreover, Lt. Col. Ricky L Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB said, “Indeed, insurgency is not the sole responsibility of the PNP and AFP but is a shared concern and responsibility by every member of the society. Together, let us be a team in ending insurgency: a team for peace and not for war. We are one team in working together towards peace and development.”
