The former rebels (FRs) also turned over their firearms which were presented to the Commander in Chief during his visit to the 401st Infantry (Unity) Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Philippine Army. /dndphl @dndphl /defense ph DND Press Release | Page 1 of 5 Together with Task Force Balik Loob (TFBL) Chairman Usec. Reynaldo B. Mapagu, 401st Infantry Brigade Commander BGEN Andres C Centino AFP, 402nd Infantry Brigade Commander BGEN Franco Nemesio M Gacal AFP, and 403rd Infantry Brigade Commander BGEN Eric Vinoya AFP, President Duterte awarded each FR Php5,000 in assistance and additional food packs and hygiene kits from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and a Certificate of Entitlement from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). The President himself gave an additional Php10,000 to each FR, coursed through Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte awards cash assistance benefits from the DSWD and the Certificate of Entitlement for DILG administered assistance to a former rebel (FR) under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP). He was joined by Special Assistant to the President Christopher Bong Go, Task Force Balik Loob Chairman USec. Reynaldo B. Mapagu, BGEN Andres C Centino AFP, Commander of the 401st Infantry Brigade, and BGEN Franco Nemesio M Gacal AFP, Commander of the 402nd Infantry Brigade, in Camp Datu Lipus Makapandong, Agusan del Sur, on September 29, 2018. Addressing the former rebels, President Duterte said, “Kinahanglan kita, ako, ikaw, magtinabangay. Magbuwat tag usa ka lugar kung asa, butangan natog skwelahan. Magtapok mo. Sa karun nga, muingon ang gobyerno, muanha ra man na sila. Mao na.” (“What we need is us, you and me, helping each other out. Let’s create a place where we can build a school. Let’s work together. Right now, when we say that the government says so, everybody will come (help). That’s how it is.”) Agusan del Sur Governor Adolph Edward Plaza and MGEN Ronald Villanueva AFP, Commander of the 4th Infantry Division, PA also attended the event, with Secretary John Castriciones /dndphl @dndphl /defense ph DND Press Release | Page 2 of 5 of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) who was tasked by the President to provide land grants to FRs for livelihood purposes. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte inspects the firearms surrendered by Former Rebels (FRs). Accompanying him was Special Assistant to the President Christopher Bong Go, Task Force Balik Loob Chairman USec. Reynaldo B. Mapagu, and 401st Infantry Brigade Commander BGen Andres C Centino in Camp Datu Lipus Makapandong, Agusan del Sur, on September 29, 2018. The aforementioned FRs will receive benefits under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP). The FRs will also be enrolled in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E- CLIP) under the TFBL. E-CLIP is one of the flagship programs of the Duterte administration that aims for a whole-of- nation approach to address social healing and national unity towards the higher objective of having just and lasting peace. It provides social equity to former members of the CPP-NPA-NDF and the Militia ng Bayan by devising a different modality of receiving benefits and services from the government, in order to reintegrate them into mainstream society. These benefits do not serve as an end, but rather a means to aid the FRs in securing a foothold in restarting their lives. /dndphl @dndphl /defense ph DND Press Release | Page 3 of 5 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte confers an award to a soldier of the 401st Infantry (Unity) Brigade, Philippine Army, with Task Force Balik Loob Chairman USec.

Mapagu, EASTMINCOM Commander LTGEN Benjamin R Madrigal, and 401st Infantry Brigade Commander BGen Andres C Centino in Camp Datu Lipus Makapandong, Agusan del Sur, during the President’s camp visit on September 29, 2018. Unlike previous government rebel reintegration programs, the E-CLIP provides a wider array of benefits based on the particular needs of FRs and their families such as financial assistance, shelter, education, skills training, healthcare, legal assistance, and among others through a convergence of various national and local government agencies. Task Force Balik Loob (TFBL), a multi-agency body headed by Defense Undersecretary Rey Mapagu, monitors and assesses the implementation of E-CLIP at the local government level. Established pursuant to Administrative Order No. 10 of President Duterte, the TFBL includes the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Office of the President, National Housing Authority (NHA) and the Office of the Presidential Adviser for Peace Process (OPAP) as among its primary members, and other government agencies and instrumentalities that may be tapped to provide additional benefits and services to FRs. /dndphl @dndphl /defense ph DND Press Release | Page 4 of 5 Meanwhile, the President also presented awards to deserving military personnel and donned the ranks of officers in the 401st Infantry Brigade. He was assisted by LTGEN Benjamin Madrigal AFP, Commander of the Eastern Mindanao Command (EASTMINCOM.) #### /dndphl @dndphl /defense ph DND Press Release | Page 5 of 5 .

Allow me to congratulate the distinguished men and women of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines on your Luzon Island Cluster Conference. Cheers to National President Mayor Ma. Fe “Bubut” Brondial, Vice President Mayor Maria Angela Garcia and Secretary General Mayor Abraham “Jess” Burnham. This assembly enhances the potentials of our local chief executives. I am convinced no less that ang “Kaunlaran ng Bansa, sa Bayan Nagmumula.” I am delighted to be part of this assembly because this is an opportunity for us to bring across labor and employment programs that are beneficial to our municipalities. One such important program is the Public Employment Service Office or the PESO. Republic Act 10691, the amended PESO Act of 1991 was enacted in October 2015, pursuant to the policy of the State to promote full employment in the country. This was authored by the then Chair of the Senate Committee on Labor and Employment, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who happens to be with us today. Ito ang mahalagang legacy ni Senator Jinggoy sa ating mga LGUs. The Department of Labor and Employment has embarked on several initiatives to address unemployment and underemployment.

  • State of Land Rights and Land Governance in Eight Asian Countries
    State of Land Rights and Land Governance in Eight Asian Countries Forty Years after the World Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) Founded in 1979, the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) is a regional association of national and regional networks of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Asia actively engaged in promoting food sovereignty, land rights and agrarian reform, sustainable agriculture, participatory governance, and rural development. ANGOC member networks and partners work in 10 Asian countries together with 3,000 CSOs and community-based organizations (CBOs). ANGOC actively engages in joint field programs and policy discussions with national governments, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and international financial institutions (IFIs). The complexity of Asian realities and diversity of CSOs highlight the need for a development leadership to service the poor of Asia—providing a forum for articulation of their needs and aspirations as well as expression of Asian values and perspectives. ANGOC is a member of the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), Indigenous Peoples’ and Community Conserved Areas and Territories (ICCA) Consortium and the International Land Coalition (ILC). Land Watch Asia (LWA) is a regional campaign to ensure that access to land, agrarian reform and sustainable development for the rural poor are addressed in national and regional development agenda. The campaign involves civil society organizations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. LWA aims to take stock of significant changes in the policy and legal environments; undertake strategic national and regional advocacy activities on access to land; jointly develop approaches and tools; and, encourage the sharing of experiences on coalition-building and actions on land rights issues.

It has been a decade since property developer Jeffrey Ng was invited by his friend, the late Willie Uy, to join the board of the Subdivision and Housing Developers Associa- tion Inc.

It’s also doing our social obligation to soci- ety, of creating a legacy, wherein every Filipino can, hopefully in the next 10 years, finally get to own their own home.
