LOCAL COMMUNIST ARMED CONFLICT

WHEREAS, Executive Order No. 16. (s. 2017) adopted the National Security
Policy 2017-2022, which calls for the end of all armed threats in the Philippines and

efforts, and enhancing the participation and responsibilities of local government units

WHEREAS, one of the objectives of the Philippine Development Plan 2017 –

2022 is to attain inclusive and sustainable peace through intensified development and
other peace–building initiatives in conflict–affected and-vulnerable communities;

WHEREAS, there is a need to reframe and refocus the government policy for
achieving inclusive and sustainable peace by recognizing that insurgencies, internal
disturbances and tensions, and other armed conflicts and threats that are not military
and security concerns but are symptomatic of broader social and economic and
historical problems such as poverty and inequality;

WHEREAS, the Whole-of-Nation approach addresses the root causes of

insurgencies, internal disturbances and tensions, and other armed conflicts and threats
by prioritizing and harmonizing the delivery of basic services and social packages by the
Government, facilitating societal inclusivity, and ensuring active participation of all
sectors of the society in the pursuit of the country’s peace agenda;

WHEREAS, Following the Creation of the National Task Force to End Local
Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) and the important role local government units
play in wiping out the decades old local communist problem, the Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG) enjoined all the country’s 81 provinces to create
their respective task force against insurgency;

WHEREAS, there is a need to create a Barangay Task Force that will provide
an efficient mechanism and structure for the implementation of the Whole-of-Nation
approach to aid in the realization of the collective aspiration of the Filipino people to
attain inclusive and sustainable peace;

NOW THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED as it is hereby resolved, that the

foregoing resolution be passed by these Councils Institutionalizing the Whole-of-Nation
Approach as a government policy for the attainment of inclusive and sustainable peace.
