UNCLASSIFIED FOUO
BACKGROUND: While conducting an area recon, LCE 1226 found a road that was in poor condition. Predominantly Christian barangays had paved roads, but predominantly Muslim barangays, and MILF controlled, were not. It was rumored that some barangays, namely Sangay, were completely cut off by a series of landslides blocking the road. Upon further reconnaissance, LCE 1226 found this to be the case. This presented the opportunity to coordinate the “Palimbang Coast Project.”
WHO: AFP of the 6th ID, 1002nd BDE, 38th CAFGU, 104th MILF BC, workers of the municipalities of Sangay, Malisbang, and Palimbang, Philippine National Police, CAT-A 762, LCE 1226.
WHAT: CLEAR LANDSLIDES FROM ROADS LINKING ISOLATED MUSLIM COMMUNITIES, DISTRIBUTE MIST PRODUCTS, AND CONDUCT A MEDCAP
WHERE: IVO Sultan Kudarat Coastline, between Kalamansig and Palimbang(51N XH 17730 11567)
WHEN: 6-12SEP07
WHY: IOT establish rapport between the GRP and isolated coastal barangays while simultaneously including the MILF in the project such that they improve the GRPs legitimacy and solidify commitment to the peace process in the eyes of the local populace.
RESULTS:5 major landslides removedOver 35 Km of road opened306 patients treated at 10SEP MEDCAPIsolated barangay of Sangay reconnected to other towns in the provinceMIST products distributed to several schoolsConditions are set for future projects
SIGNIFICANCE/IMPACT:
