From Kalinaw News (Jun 2, 2022): Former Rebels receive aid under ECLIP
CAMP MELCHOR F DELA CRUZ, Upi, Gamu, Isabela- 69 former rebels received financial assistance under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) at Amphitheater, Isabela Provincial Capitol, Ilagan City, Isabela on June 01, 2022.
The Department of Interior and Local Government-Isabela together with Isabela Governor Rodito Albano III, PNP, and the Philippine Army awarded the cheque amounting to P15,000 while others who have surrendered high-powered firearms received more or less P500,000 under the firearm remuneration program.
“Mula nang magbalik-loob ako sa pamahalaan naging maginhawa na ang aking pamumuhay kasama ang aking pamilya. Napakalaki na rin ng naitulong ng ating gobyerno sa akin. Itong natanggap kong tulong pinansyal ngayong araw ay magagamit ko para lalo ko pang mapabuti ang aming kabuhayan. Sobrang laki ng aking pasasalamat sa pamahalaan,” alias Jed said in an interview.
The said former rebels returned to the folds of the law from 2019 to 2021. They came from the towns of Isabela such as Benito Soliven, Cauayan City, Ilagan City, Jones, and San Mariano.
“Ang pagbibigay ng tulong pinansyal sa ating mga former rebels ay patunay lamang na hindi rebolusyon laban sa pamahalaan ang sagot sa mga hinaing ng ating mga kababayan. Kundi ang pakikiisa at pakikipagtulungan sa gobyerno na makamit ang inklusibong pag-unlad at pangkapayaan lalo na sa mga liblib na lugar. Maging bukas sana ang mga mata ng mga natitira pang mga miyembro ng teroristang grupo na walang saysay ang ideolohiyang kanilang ipinaglalaban,” BGen Danilo Benavides, Brigade Commander of 502nd Infantry Brigade said as he again expressed his gratitude to the former rebels for abandoning the terrorist group and supporting the government in the fight against insurgency.
Meanwhile, MGen Laurence E Mina, Commander of 5th Infantry Division said that the awarding of E-CLIP is through the successful implementation of Whole-of-Nation Approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. “Ang pagtutulungan ng bawat sektor ng pamahalaan maging ng ating mga kababayan ay katunayan ng ating tagumpay sa ating laban kontra insurhensiya. Kung kaya, sa mga natitira pang miyembro ng Communist Terrorist Group, ito na ang inyong pagkakataon na magbalik-loob sa ating pamahalaan upang makapagbagong buhay kasama ang inyong pamilya.”
