KALAHI covers 600 conflict-affected barangays, pushes peace and dev’t
KALAHI para sa Kalayaan now covers 600 conflict-affected barangay. This program is intended to put an end to the decades-old problem of communist insurgency and usher in peace and development in poverty stricken rural barangays.
The program’s ultimate goal is the achievement of sustainable peace in the community following the human security framework of freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom from humiliation and exclusion.
In a Malacanang press report, it discloses that so far that a total of P1.442 billion has been raised to fund various infrastructure projects in the Kalayaan barangays. Majority of this amount has been transferred to the AFP Engineering Brigade under the National Development Support Command. (PIA )
