Three more Leyte ex-rebels each received P75,000 cash assistance from OPAPP and the Leyte PLGU.
Per info received from Army friends at the 19th Infantry Battalion, the
3 former rebels received cash assistance from Leyte Governor Dominic Petilla
during the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) meeting held at
Governor’s Hall, Leyte Provincial Capitol Bldg., Tacloban City on
Tuesday, September 2.
The bounty comprised P65, 000 livelihood
assistance from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace
Process (OPAPP) and P10,000 basic assistance from the provincial
government of Leyte.
The governor who also gave one (1) sack of
rice and food packs each to the former rebels, expressed hope that the
bounty will be use to improve the living conditions of the former rebels
as they go back to mainstream society.
Cpt. Christopher
Badong, Civil Military Operation Officer of the 19th Infantry Battalion
based in Kananga, Leyte, said the recipients surrendered to the
military, after experiencing hardships in the underground movement of
New Peoples Army.
Without them mentioning, the Army is the
prime mover in helping and guiding the former rebels as they go back to
the folds of law. Congratulations to our Army friends.
