PAGADIAN
CITY -
For the first time, Gov. Victor Yu visited the headquarters of Special Civilian
Armed Forces Geographical Unit Active Auxiliary (SCAA) in Midsalip town on July
26 to personally give sacks of rice and allowances, provincial official
disclosed,
Jesrel
Jess Himang, provincial information chief said the SCAA is composed of a
hundred members was reactivated by Gov. Yu, T%he SCAA was formed by the 53rd
Infantry Battalion under the command of ex-Governor Cerilles last February,
three months before the midterm polls, which became controversial due to
allegations that they were used for political agenda by the previous
administration.
Lt. Col
Ryan Severo said that the said special forces had a direct command from the
53rdIB under the leadership of Lt. Col Marlowe Patria and strongly denied the
speculation that they were used politically.
“Yung
request nang provincial government ay para ma-maintain yung peace and order ng
Zamboanga del Sur, hindi ito para sa personal na interes ng sinumang politician
o private individual,” Severo refuted.
Gov.
Victor Yu appreciated the presence of the special forces since it will augment
the military efforts to continually preserve the peace and order of the
province.
The
governor renewed the contract of SCAA that expired last May and opened
opportunities for them through a monthly compensation of P7,500 including rice
allowance in exchange of their 20-day duty at their assigned detachment.
Yu made
this to let them feel that they were not left behind and that the
administration cares for their livelihood.
The
SCAA members expressed their gratitude to Gov. Yu for it is the first time that
they were visited personally by the province’s top leader who is ready to
respond for their welfare. (By JONG CADION with ZDSPPB
