The 95th Salaknib Battalion, based in San Mariano, Isabela is known to have an increasing number of NPA-surrenderees. Currently, there are 54 Former Rebels together with their families accommodated in the battalion's headquarters.
This number does not include those who were already integrated to the mainstream society. It is, therefore, deemed necessary to provide those who were left behind with a decent and comfortable accommodation the unit can offer.
Infact, every Salaknib trooper has made a great contribution for the establishment of the HAPPY VILLE, a small village composed of two housing facilities with a kitchen and a bathroom.
It also has a backyard garden that the former rebels personally cultivated and a pool table that serves as a recreational facility.
Indeed, the Happy Ville symbolizes hope and happiness in the mainstream society away from the former rebels' life with the NPAs which is full of hatred and animosity.
Living in this village will let them realize that the government loves, cares, secures and prioritizes their welfare.
The Salaknib Battalion assures these former rebels that the Happy Ville will always be their home away from home. This village welcomes all former rebels and those who will decide to choose the road of peace. (ALM/PIA-2)
