The last members of the Communist group Guerrilla Front Sendong received rewards from Misamis Occidental Governor Henry S. Oaminal for choosing to renew his life and becoming a beacon of peace within the province.

Governor Oaminal demonstrated his dedication to pushing for peace and security in the province during a Provincial Peace and Order Council meeting where he announced the provision of full integration support to a former communist rebel who recently surrendered to the 10th Infantry Battalion (10IB) of the Philippine Army deployed in the province.

Gov. Oaminal met with Babylín Labastida, also known as Ka Hill when she was the 2nd Deputy Secretary of the Guerrilla Front Sendong, at the Asenso Misamis Occidental Sports and Cultural Center on January 26, 2024.

Labastida received a cash reward of P500,000 from the governor.

“Dawata kini nga kandidad nga P500,000 gikan sa Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, mao kini ang award para sa mga nag surrender ug sa imong pagbalik karon nganhi sa atong gobyerno para atong matagaan og kasulbaran ang insurgency problem ug peace and order sa atong kabukiran. Kini magamit nimo sa imong pagpanginabuhi ug pagbalik sa sabakan sa gobyerno,” Gov. Oaminal shared.

The governor has committed to continue supporting former rebels in their journey toward peaceful life and becoming a productive citizen of the country.

As the Chairperson of the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC), Governor Oaminal recognizes the importance of extending assistance to those who have chosen to lay down their arms and embrace a fresh life away from armed struggle.

The surrender of Labastida serves as a significant milestone in the province’s ongoing efforts to make the Misamis Occidental an Insurgency-Free area—aligned with Gov. Oaminal’s 5Ms (Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon ug Malipayon) vision in good governance.

Governor Oaminal expressed his admiration for the exceptional dedication and sacrifices made by the 10IB Commanding Officer, LTC JOSE ANDRE MONJE INF (GSC) PA, and his troops in dismantling the Guerrilla Front Sendong.

“This accomplishment is a testament to the province’s unwavering commitment to achieving lasting peace and prosperity for its residents,” he said.

The Misamis Occidental Provincial Government remains steadfast in its pursuit of sustainable peace and unity.

The recent surrendering of former rebels serves as a clear indication that the province is on the right path in its push for a more tranquil and prosperous future. (SN/PGMO)
