CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Apr. 7 (PIA) – Under the Enhanced-Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), three rebel returnees of the province on Monday received P210,000 financial and livelihood assistance from the provincial government.
E-CLIP is a government program that aims to help members of CPP-NPA-NDF and Militia ng Bayan (MB) to restore their allegiance to the Philippine government.
Provincial Task Force-to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC) Chairman Gov. Bonz Dolor led the awarding of livelihood assistance to the rebel returnees.
The three rebel returnees were former members of the New People’s Army (NPA) operating in the province of Oriental Mindoro. They all received P65,000 each and the other one who is also a member of MB received additional P15,000. The amount given by the government will solely be used by the rebel returnees in reintegrating back to their community, reunite with their families and start new, normal lives.
Also with the governor during the awarding ceremony was the presence of the representative from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer Zarah Magboo and a representative from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
In his message, Gov. Dolor emphasized to rebel returnees to join with the government in maintaining peace and order and cooperation with the government to truly achieve the vision of inclusive and lasting peace.
“Though the government cannot give everything you needed, we assure you that our government is doing its best to serve people in the utmost level with the necessary services for the people,” said Gov. Dolor.
Aside from the financial and livelihood assistance, the rebel returnees will also receive benefits from the PhilHealth’s PAyapa at MAsaganang PamayaNAn (PAMANA) program, scholarship programs from the Department of Education (DepEd) and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and housing program from the National Housing Authority (NHA).
All of these programs of the national government for the rebel returnees support the President Duterte’s issuance of Executive Order No. 70, series of 2018, which is institutionalizing the whole-of-nation approach attaining inclusive and sustainable peace, creating a national task force to end local communist armed conflict, and directing the adoption of a national peace framework.
