The Provincial Government of Lanao del Sur, through its Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) Committee, held a meeting earlier today at the Provincial GAD Conference Room, Capitol Complex, to align efforts on the continued reintegration of former violent extremists (FVEs) in the province.

In attendance were representatives from the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, Provincial Information Office, Provincial Peace and Development Office, Ministry of the Interior and Local Government – Lanao del Sur m, 103rd Infantry Brigade, and the Lanao del Sur Provincial Police Office.

A key agenda item focused on program updates regarding the total number of validated FVEs and the status of their enrollment in the ECLIP Information System (ECLIP-IS). These were presented by OIC-PSWD Officer Monaima A. Adiong who highlighted the progress of ongoing profiling and enrollment efforts.

To support the reintegration process, the provincial government—working in partnership with the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU)—has already provided a comprehensive package of assistance and services, including relief aid, a two-day transformative activity with psychosocial sessions, and financial payouts to qualified FVEs.

Sahaniya B. Minantara of the PSWDO gave an overview of the enrollment forms and explained the steps involved in the registration process. Meanwhile, Mustapha M. Said of MILG-LDS detailed the required attachments and documentation necessary for successful enrollment into the ECLIP-IS.

Ssg Danilo S. Banquiao PA of the 103rd Infantry Brigade provided updates on the turnover of surrendered firearms to the LDSPPO and discussed the status of the inventoried firearms, which is crucial to the proper processing of firearms remuneration for eligible beneficiaries.

This initiative reflects the unwavering commitment of the provincial government and its partners to support the sustainable reintegration of former combatants through structured peacebuilding and socioeconomic development programs.
