TACLOBAN CITY, Nov. 28 (PIA) -- The League of Municipalities of the Philippines, Northern Samar Chapter commits to spearhead several initiatives to end local insurgency in Northern Samar.

The commitment was done during the November 21 meeting at Dencio's Place, Brgy Dalakit, Catarman, Northern Samar, after the mayors were briefed by the 803rd Infantry Brigade led by Col. Zosimo Oliveros, on the peace and order situation in the province.

Led by LMP Northern Samar President Mayor Galahad Vicencio of Catubig, the mayors unanimously resolved to post tarpaulins
declaring the CPP-NPA-NDF and its Front Organizations persona non-grata.


Todate, 21 out of 24 municipalities of Northern Samar have already passed resolutions declaring the CTGs persona non-grata in their respective municipalities.

Also, there are 21 out of 24 municipalities that have already organized their Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.

“The three other municipalities, Capul, San Antonio and San Vicente, are unaffected island municipalities,” Col. Olivares said.

He added, however, that the Department of the Interior and Local Government in Northern Samar intends to organize MTF-ELCAC in these town before the year ends.
