“I encouraged the remaining members of the NPA to surrender and lay down their arms; avail of the government programs such as Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) and start living a more meaningful life together with their families and loved ones. We thank the Local Task Force to End Local Armed Conflict (LTF-ELCAC) of Escalante City for its continued support in our endeavors to sustain the peace and development in this part of Negros. This would have not been possible if not for their tireless effort and commitment to finally put an end to the local armed conflict in the area”, Lt.Col Javines added.
The surrenderees are now undergoing custodial debriefing and need assessment for their enrollment to E-CLIP.
