DAVAO
DEL NORTE, July 13 (PNA) – Brig. Gen. Ariel Bernardo of the 10th
Infantry Division (ID) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) here
congratulated Governor Rodolfo P. del Rosario for the noticeable
increase in the number of surrenderees in the province, with 73 recorded
surrenderees in the first half of 2012.
At the recently held meeting of the Regional Peace and Order
Council (RPOC XI) in Davao City, he attributed this to the favorable
spike in massive community immersion activities of the Provincial
Government of Davao del Norte under the Convergence for Peace and
Development program, where the AFP and the Philippine National Police
(PNP) are its partners.
The Army official said a total of 190 rebels yielded and joined the government in the first half of this year. Next to Davao del Norte with the highest number in the region is Compostela Valley with 35, Davao del Sur with 28, and Davao Oriental and Davao City, both with 27 rebel returnees.
He said Gov. del Rosario, who is also the current RPOC XI chairman, reaches out to the far-flung areas in Davao del Norte. It rolls out various socio-economic services in human health, agriculture, animal legal, and support to the environment, among others.
