BATANGAS CITY - A virtual coordination meeting on Capacitating Urban Communities for Peace and Development (CUCPD) was held by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) - Batangas City on December 15 with the aim of raising the capacity of various sectors of society and encourage their participation in advancing the country's peace agenda.
The meeting discussed Executive Order No. 70 - “Institutionalizing the Whole-Nation Approach in Attaining Inclusive and Sustainable Peace, Creating a National Task Force to End Local Communities Armed Conflict and Directing the Adoption of a National Peace Framework” where the government prioritizes the delivery of basic services to more needed areas as well as areas with ongoing unrest.
It also seeks to form a national task force that will help end the local communist conflict where there are community re-integration programs for CPP-NPAs.
In a message delivered by Mayor Beverley Dimacuha, he announced that the city of Batangas remains quiet and orderly. He said this proves that some businessmen want to build a business in the city despite the pandemic.
“Peaceful ang Batangas City at we are industrialized-friendly city,’ said Mayor Dimacuha.
He also called for the continued cooperation of the people to maintain the peace and order of the city.
Representatives from various sectors in the city such as youth and students, women, workers, security, urban, transport and others participated in the meeting.
