Rebel abused victims gets help
By J.Lo
"Now we can plant corn and other crops freely, our earnings safe from extortionists," Nida's life is back to normal with more than 400 villagers at upland border of Cotabato and Davao del Sur provinces communist rebels had abused in years past.
Barangays where they reside, once bastions of New Peoples' Army now tagged by Armed Forces and Philippine National Police merely as "communist terrorist group," had been declared "insurgency free" as result of interventions by local government units, provincial police in both provinces and Philippine Army's 39th Infantry Battalion.
In statement to media outfits in central Mindanao, 39th IB said representatives of Department of Social Welfare and Development in Region 12 released P246,000 livelihood grant for 82 families in Barangay San Vicente in Makilala town in Cotabato province displaced by CTG-Army clashes in recent years.
Another group, Tapicong Datalcolon Farmers Association. also launched then, with help of DSWD-11, its general merchandise business in Barangay Bacungan in Magsaysay, Davao del Sur.
Both 39th IB and provincial police offices in Cotabato and Davao del Sur were cited by national officials who accompanied President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. during his visit to Digos City for having been instrumental in setting free from ruthless armed groups highland barangays at border of two provinces.
Forced collection from villagers of "revolutionary tax" by armed men made life for them so miserable.
Lt. Col. Ezra Balagtey, commander of 39th IB, told reporters credit for recovery of families in hinterlands in Magsaysay and Makilala has to go to DSWD, Department of Agriculture and local executives involved in community rehabilitation efforts after communist guerillas had left for good.
Records from offices of provincial governors in two provinces indicate more than 300 CTG members in two provinces have surrendered in batches since 2018 through intercession of local officials and units of 39th IB.
