LUNA, Apayao – The Department of the Interior and Local Government-Cordillera (DILG-CAR) has commended the local governments of the province and municipalities of Luna, Conner, Santa Marcela, Calanasan, Pudtol, and Flora, for their outstanding efforts in maintaining functional peace and order councils.
Apayao has been previously declared the most peaceful province in the Cordillera with the least crime by the Cordillera office of the Philippine National Police which could be attributed to the coordination and collaboration of government forces and other members of peace and order councils.
Emphasizing their pivotal role in fostering peace and security within the region, the acknowledgment extended to a total of 75 councils across the region.
Acting as crucial coordinators, these councils actively address peace and order concerns by uniting local government units, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations. Said recognition from DILG-CAR underscores the vital role these councils play in the governance and security framework of the region.
In a statement posted on their Facebook page, DILG-CAR expressed appreciation for the dedication and hard work of individuals and organizations involved in these councils.
“This commendation underscores the significance of these councils in the region’s governance and security framework. It also serves as an acknowledgment of the dedication and hard work of the individuals and organizations involved in these councils, who contribute to the well-being and safety of the Cordillera communities,” wrote DILG-CAR.
