Posted to Kalinaw News (Mar 20, 2022): SAKM Cluster Conducts Local Peace Engagement, Community Consultation; 74 FRs Pledge to Support Gov’t Peace and Dev’t Efforts in Aurora
FORT MAGSAYSAY, Nueva Ecija — Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, Situational Awareness and Knowledge Management (SAKM) Cluster Region 3 conducted a peace engagement and community consultation attended by 74 Former Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) members held at the covered court of Barangay Dinadiawan, Dipaculao, Aurora on March 18, 2022.
According to the 7th Infantry (KAUGNAY) Division, Commander, Major General Andrew D Costelo PA lauded the unity among the FRs in its firm stand in denouncing the lies, deceptive schemes, and atrocities of the CTG in the province of Aurora and reaffirming its support to the peace and development efforts of the government.
“The unity among FRs in re-affirming their support to the government is vital to our continued campaign to end the insurgency because they proved that to surrender to the government is not their loss but a defeat to the terrorist organization. We welcome support and welcome this kind of initiative,” said MGen Costelo.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Julito B. Recto, Officer-In-Charge (OIC) of 91st Infantry (SINAGTALA) Battalion, Philippine Army lauded the efforts of the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) (lead unit), concerned agencies, and security forces where 74 FRs have took their Oath of Allegiance to the government to help end the insurgency.
He also emphasized that whatever assistance from the government should be given importance by the FR beneficiaries to help them get back on their feet.
“Pahalagahan po natin kung anuman ang tulong na maaring maibigay ng gobyerno katulad ng kwento kong nabanggit sa inyo kaugnay sa pagpapahalaga ng mga naibigay na ayuda upang maging matagumpay at umasenso sa buhay,” LTC Recto said.
Apart from their Pledge of Allegiance to the government, the FRs also burned CTG’s flags to show their sincerity in abandoning the terrorist organization and strong condemnation of the CTG’s atrocities against innocent civilians.
