The so called PBB (Pandol-Boco and Balagon) barangays have been considered barangays in conflict by the security forces, prompting the provincial and municipal governments to focus interventions in these distant areas.
The three barangays can be reached through Can-avid River for 3-5 hours mechanized boat ride upstream.
The convergence meeting resulted to the conduct of the Retooled Community Service Program (RCSP), these teams will undergo immersion activities in order to assess the peace and development gaps of the said barangays and come up with Barangay Development Plans.
The governor vowed to finance the P2 million electrification program for some sitios and barangays within the PBB areas without power yet.
He also said that the construction of the road-gap between Can-ilay to Salvacion will be shouldered by the provincial government through a P24 million fund downloaded to DA GAA 2020 for Balagon and Pandol road opening.
He also promised that he will extend scholarships to college students from the three barangays.
Imelda Bonifacio of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process - Regional Unit said the office has P3 million for the construction of a multi-purpose hall and water system.
"These were identified in the 2019 CSP teams," Bonifacio said.
The National Housing Authority also promised to award the former rebels who will surrender to the government, houses worth P450,000 each, and if the former rebel has a house, he may opt to repair or improve the same with a P100,000 grant.
Truly, EO Number 70 has been employing the whole-of -ation approach to winning the peace, said OPAPPRU Manager Bonifacio. (nbq/ PIA 8 with OPAPPRU)
