CAYAUAN, Negros Occidental – Three Former Rebels who returned to the folds of the law received financial assistance from the Local Government of Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental last August 5.
Hinoba-an Municipal Mayor Ernesto Estrao facilitated the grant of Php 10,000.00 and in-kind assistance to each Former Rebel. This is part of the Government’s effort to end the local communist armed conflict.
“The Government, the 15th Infantry Battalion and the Philippine National Police are ready to accept and help you those who want to return to the folds of the law. However, the development of our life should not always depend on the government. We are responsible for the betterment of our life,” said Mayor Estrao.
He also expressed his appreciation on the former rebel’s desire to be with their family and live a life without fear. He assured them the government’s genuine care to all Filipinos who may have been deceived by the senseless propaganda of the insurgents.
“The cash assistance from the LGU is a great help to the former rebels, especially in this time of pandemic. They should utilize it wisely to sustain their needs,” said 2Lt Sandag, 15IB CMO Officer.
Additionally, Capt Ondoy, 15IB Acting Executive Officer, lauded the support extended by Hinoba-an LGU to the former rebels.
“The Kometing Rehiyon Negros is about to collapse due to the series of setbacks across Negros Island. We urged other rebels to abandon the armed struggle and return to the government to gain a peaceful and smooth way of living with their family,” Ondoy added.
The awarding ceremony held at the Hinoba-an Municipal Hall was witnessed by Municipal Department of Interior and Local Government Officer, Celso Nunez; Capt. Jover Ondoy, Battalion Acting Executive Officer; Chief of Police, PMaj Clifford Batadhay; 2Lt. Weann Sandag, Civil Military Operations Officer; and Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, Joe Jusay.
