Eight (8) former rebels personally received their SCPs during the activity. They are under the care and supervision of the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) and Davao City Peace 911. Fifteen (15) additional former rebels from Paquibato District who were unable to attend due to their location were likewise issued SCPs.
The activity was attended by Mr. Alwyn M. Camamara, Administrative Staff Officer III; Ms. Caryjane D. Laguna, Technical Adviser for Community-Based Organizations, City Mayorโs OfficeโPeace 911; Ms. Claudette Ivy Matarong, Senior Social Work Associate III, CSWDO; and Ms. Jane Bernadette Tablizo, Social Welfare Assistant, CSWDO.
Matarong delivered the opening remarks, while Tablizo gave the welcome remarks.
LAB-Davao Peace Program Officer III Cris M. Gaerlan subsequently provided an orientation on the National Amnesty Commissionโs (NAC) Amnesty Program and the purpose and significance of the SCP.
Gaerlan emphasized that although the application period has ended, the processing of applications continues. He explained that applications undergo further review and evaluation by various panels and authorities following LAB-Davao deliberations, making the process necessarily thorough and time-consuming.
He also underscored the SCPโs importance in facilitating an orderly and seamless amnesty process while providing qualified applicants with protection and assurance during the processing of their applications.
Gaerlan expressed hope that the application period may eventually be extended to allow more former rebels to avail themselves of the Amnesty Program.
In his closing remarks, Camamara encouraged the beneficiaries to remain steadfast and optimistic, emphasizing that despite the length of the process, they should continue to hope that their applications will ultimately be granted.
