Military officials and the provincial government of Davao Oriental have declared the province as insurgency-free during a meeting of the provincial peace and order council on Monday.
These are the Guerilla Fronts South, North and 18, which were dismantled on April 18, 2021, June 20, 2021 and September 15, 2022 respectively. All three NPA fronts have previously operated in Davao Oriental. Brig. Gen. Oliver Maquiling, commander of the 701st Infantry Brigade, said the successful counterinsurgency campaign was due to the convergence of government agencies in implementing various peace and development programs in Davao Oriental.
“We have what it takes to be a premier tourist destination, and Davao Oriental is worth visiting. But we also have to consider that the tourism industry is too sensitive to peace and order,” Malanyaon said.
