From the Office of the Presidential Assistant on the Peace Process (OPAPP) (Nov 20): Turnover up next after inventory of Cordi rebels’ firearms—OPAPP official
Turnover of firearms is the next step to the recently concluded firearms inventory of members of the former rebel organization Cordillera Bodong Administration-Cordillera People’s Liberation Army (CBA-CPLA), which is now called Cordillera Forum for Peace and Development (CFPD), according to Undersecretary Atty. Cleofe Gettie Sandoval of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP). In an interview with radio station DZXL Saturday, Sandoval said the inventory was part of the disposition of arms and forces provision that CBA-CPLA agreed to when they entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the government last July 4, 2011. A total of 386 firearms and 25 explosives were inventoried in all six provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), broken down into: 115 (Kalinga), 13 (Benguet), 34 (Ifugao), 21 (Abra), 73 (Apayao) and 130 (Mt. Province). The inventory ended on Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012.... Sandoval heads the five-member Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) that oversees the implementation of said MOA. The JMC is composed of representatives from the OPAPP, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), the CFPD, and civil society represented by the Concerned Citizens of Abra for Good Government. The community development projects will be carried out through PAMANA or Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Peaceful and Resilient Communities) program, the government’s peace and development framework, which has been in place in the region since December 2011.....
