Former CPLA commits to peace process
FORT BONIFACIO, Taguig City
– The former Cordillera People’s Liberation Army (CPLA) now members of
Cordillera Forum for Peace and Development (CFPD) continue to commit to
peace process by integrating its former members to the Philippine Army.
On June 26, the Army will open a special Candidate Soldier Course to absorb 168 CFPD members.
Meanwhile, the CFPD leadership exerted
efforts to consolidate some of their firearms for turn in as agreed
between the 5th Infantry Division and the CFPD.
In December last year, CFPD members
surrendered 51 assorted high-powered firearms to the government in the
presence of former Army Commander now Chief of Staff AFP Lt Gen Emmanuel
T Bautista.
While the CFPD stand true to its
commitment to the peace process, the Army as well, continues to
strengthen its roadmap towards lasting peace in the country through its
Internal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP) “Bayanihan”.
The Philippine Army calls for other
insurgent groups to lay down their arms and instead, support the peace
and development programs of the government.
