Let us continue to work together to build a community that values peace, inclusivity, and growth.

Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. Giovanni T. Franza, Commander of 1102nd Infantry “Ganarul” Brigade said, "Kung tayo lang po mga kasundaluhan ang gagawa ng trabaho hindi natin makakamit ang lahat ng ito. Kaya naman kami ay nagpapasalamat sa suporta ng lahat, lalo na ang suporta ng iba't ibang ahensya ng gobyerno, upang maideklara ang ASG-Free dito sa munisipyo sa Luuk. Dahil dito, malaki ang gagampanan ng ating mga barangay leaders sa pagtiyak na hindi na maibabalik ang dating kaguluhan at tuluyang mapuksa ang terorismo.”
