The WestMinCom leadership proposed Thursday a new reform program against violent extremism in a meeting with BaSulTa officials in Sulu.
Local officials deliberated on the Broad Reform against Violent Extremism Program introduced by WestMinCom Commander Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana.
“The BRAVE adopts the strategic framework of the Program against Violent Extremism for Peace which depicts the interplay of good governance, law enforcement, and community participation,” said Lt. Gen. Sobejana.
The new reform program focuses on three objectives: 1. eliminating the drivers of violent extremism; 2. comprehensive mainstreaming of former rebels; and 3. sustaining peace and development in the country and in the province, as a whole.
The proposed program is “an expanded version of the PAVE which it seeks to supplant” as the return, reform, and reintegrate phases of the latter is incorporated in the mainstreaming/empowering phase of the proposed new program, added Lt. Gen. Sobejana.
Basilan Governor Hadjiman Hataman-Saliman, Sulu Governor Abdusakur Tan, Tawi-Tawi Governor Yshmael Sali, and Basilan Congressman Mujiv Hataman attended the said meeting.
Joint Task Forces Commanders and other officials were also present during the meeting held at the Capitol Site in Bangkal, Patikul on December 19.
