The Provincial Peace and Order Council recently passed a
resolution to ensure the protection of beneficiaries and workers of the
Comprehensive Local Integration Program (CLIP).
PPOC Resolution No. 2015-03 requests the Philippine National Police - Cordillera Regional Office(PRO-COR) not to release information that would compromise the welfare and safety of CLIP clients, partners and workers.
This stemmed from a post in the social media which disclosed information such as name and age of the former rebels and the person who accompanied the FR to surrender.
The resolution stated that the posting in social media of the identity of FRs is a violation of security protocol as embodied in Section 10. B of the Implementing Guidelines of the Comprehensive Local Integration Program (CLIP) for former New People’s Army (NPA) members.
“The release of names of the former rebels is detrimental and has a negative effect on them, their families and the person who accompanied them to surrender and the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) personnel handling the program,” the PPOC resolution stated.
It further mentioned that PPOC deems it important that names of the former rebels should be withheld from the press and social media in order to maintain social relationship, trust and confidence in the government, public services and the community.
The PNP and the Provincial Government will handle CLIP information with confidentiality and follow information dissemination protocol in order to protect the safety of all people concerned.
