TALACOGON, Agusan del Sur – Among the one hundred seventeen (117) beneficiaries, twelve (12) Former Rebels (FRs) of this unit have received a Livelihood Settlement Grant (SLG) amounting to PhP240,000.00 from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) held on August 12, 2022 at the Naliyagan, Cultural Center, Barangay Patin-ay, Prosperidad, this province.

All these really helped us including our families),”said former rebel alias Rex. 

The awarding of financial assistance to the FRs was made possible through the convergence effort of the government agencies as stipulated in Executive Order No. 70 (EO70) - institutionalizing the whole of nation approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC) in attaining an inclusive and sustainable peace, security and development that address the root causes of insurgency to end local armed conflict in the countryside.
