P220-million program benefits 44 Surigao Sur barangays

September 11, 2009

BUTUAN CITY – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is implementing the P220-million Kalayaan sa Barangay Program (KBP) in the 44 barangay (villages) of Surigao del Sur – particularly those in far-flung areas.

Despite some hindrances, the AFP, through its unit – the Army’s 401st Infantry Brigade (IB), remains steadfast in its effort to improve the delivery of services to the 44 villages with a P5-million allocation per village.

“Our troops in that province are not for combat but as implementers of government projects to usher in peace and development in insurgency-prone areas,” said regional Army spokesman Maj. Mitchele B. Anayron Jr.

He said the area command chief of the Army’s 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division (ID) ordered 401st Brigade commander Col. Danny Fabian to step up their peace and development projects in Surigao del Sur.
