According to the report, the said rebels chose to surrender due to exhaustion, hunger, and demoralization brought about by the relentless operations of the military and the lack of support from the civilians.

When he surrendered, Tingkayan revealed the different locations of arms caches in the hinterlands of Pantaron Range and Saldab Complex.

The military was able to capture four AK47 rifles, one M16 rifle, one M14 rifle, two M203 grenade launchers, and one carbine rifle.

Donggo, who is a regular communist terrorist group (CTG) member, and Mansalodong Lan-awan, a Milisyang Bayan member, also surrendered one carbine rifle, one KG9 sub-machine gun, and one .38 caliber revolver,

Their support led to the series of encounters as well as the previous successful operations in Saldab Complex,” 403rd Brigade Commander Brigadier General Michele Anayron Jr. said.

“We will not stop until we totally defeat the CTG. As to the CNT (Communist Pary of the Philippines-NPA terrorists) surrenderers, we welcome you back to the folds of the law, back to your families, and to the new chapter of your lives, free from the disillusionment brought to you by the CTG,” he added.

Posted on by cmn

Officials from the municipality of Quezon, Bukidnon, and San Fernando, La Union visited Pasig City to learn about the local government’s best practices

For their visit last May 15, the Quezon, Bukidnon delegation brought 37 of their municipal and barangay officials led by Mayor Pablo Lorenzo III.

They were welcomed by Vice Mayor Robert “Dodot” Jaworski Jr. and Councilors Angelu De Leon and Volta Delos Santos, all of whom shared their knowledge and experiences as public officials in Pasig.

In their welcome remarks, Jaworski, De Leon, and Delos Santos expressed their appreciation for being chosen as the municipal government’s benchmarking partner. They also hoped that the delegation would be able to learn and adopt new methods and ideas that would benefit and help their municipality.

Discussed were the five priority thrusts of the Sotto administration: good governance, diligent service, universal healthcare, inclusive education, and affordable housing, as well as the Liga ng mga Barangay system in Pasig.

To witness the legislative proceedings of the City, the delegation visited and met with the Pasig City Council during the council’s regular meeting at the session hall.

The delegation also stopped by the Ugnayan ng Pasig (UsaP) Office to learn more about the city government implementing its freedom of information (FOI) policies and programs.

Meanwhile, the San Fernando, La Union delegation, headed by Provincial Administrator Agnes Grace Cargamento, conducted their benchmarking activity in Pasig on May 18.

The activity mainly focused on the Pasig government’s best practices in financial management which the Budget Office presented.

The delegation also visited the City’s Mega Dialysis Center and the Maybunga Rainforest Park to observe the City’s healthcare provision for its citizens and its efforts in environmental conservation, respectively.

Organized by the Cultural Affairs and Tourism Office of Pasig City, benchmarking visits are frequently done to grant opportunities for the local government to showcase and share its best programs, policies, and systems with others across the country.

Aside from an exchange of ideas, the visits also enable the local government to gain outsider perspectives of their practices in order to determine further room for improvement, along with insights into innovations and methods of governance that can be considered and implemented within their jurisdiction.

Paghatag og retirement benefits sa tanang elective, appointive barangay officials sa kongreso, gisuportahan sa SP

Posted on by cmn

Hugtanong gisuportahan sa 27th Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP), pinaagi sa Resolution No. 2023-1143(27th SP), ang House Bill No. 3488 nga giduso ni 3rd District Representative Jose Ma. R. Zubiri, Jr., isa ka balaod nga nagtugot sa paghatag og retirement benefits ngadto sa tanang elective or appointive barangay officials nga nagserbisyo sulod sa siyam ka sunod-sunod nga tuig o tulo ka termino

Ang mga barangay officials mao ang sukaranang haligi sa pagdumala sa publiko, sanglit sila man ang diha-diha nga naghatag sa mga panginahanglanon sa ilang ginsakupan sa mas dali nga panahon. Bisan niana, kini nga mga barangay officials wala mahatagan sa igong benepisyo, hinungdan nga wala usab sila’y kapasidad nga makatipig alang sa ilang mga pangilanahanglanon.

Tungod niini nga realidad, daghan sa mga barangay officials ang nanlimbasug nga mabuhi human sa ilang serbisyo nga walay social security ug napugos sa pagpangita og mga alternatibong panginabuhian alang sa ilang inadlaw-adlaw nga galastuhan, imbes nga magtagamtam sa benepisyo nga ilang makuha sa pila ka tuig nga pagserbisyo sa publiko.

Ang House Bill No. 3488 o gitawag nga Barangay Officials Retirement Benefits Act of 2022 gipasaka niadtong Agosto 10, 2022 sa House of Representatives (19th Congress) ug gi-refer ngadto sa Committee on Local Government niadtong Agosto 15, 2022, diin mao usab kini ang panglantaw ni Senate President Juan Miguel F. Zubiri, kinsa nagpalabang ug Senate Bill No. 306 (18th Congress) alang sa susamang katuyuan. Busa, ang barangay official nga adunay katungod ubos niini nga lakang, makakuha ug monthly pension nga dili mo-ubos sa 65% sa iyang monthly average nga honoraria, allowances, ug ubang klase sa benepisyo nga gitugot sa balaod o ordinansa sa syudad, lungsod o sa barangay.

Sa higayon nga socialy secure ug stable na kining mga barangay officials, mas mapalig-on pa ang ilang pagpanerbisyo sa publiko, sa ingon nga ang gobyerno makahimo na usab sa pagdasig sa mas epektibo nga pagpangatungdanan diha sa 42,046 ka mga barangay sa tibuok nasud sa Pilipinas. (PR)
