Since their surrender or capture, the PWUDs undertook a community-based rehabilitation program of the province for plea bargaining dubbed as Davao de Oro Transformative Program Kontra Druga (DdOT-KD).

The program includes series of lectures geared towards an improved quality of life, psychosocial activities, family and individual counseling, legal aspects, health and spiritual awareness, and life skills training and livelihood programs.

During the ceremony, the graduates also got Certificate of Completion for Basic Pandesal and Pickles Making training under the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Davao de Oro.

Governor Dorothy Montejo-Gonzaga reminded the PWUDs to not to misuse this second chance of their life.

“Because you’ve given another chance sa inyong kinabuhi, ayaw usiki ang kahigayunan nga mabalik mo sa tagsa tagsa ka mga kamunidad para mabuhi nga mas malinawon, mas progresibo, ug mas hapsay kauban ang inyong pamilya,” the governor stressed.

(Because you’ve given another chance in your life, don’t throw away this opportunity to get back to your own respective communities to live peacefully, progressively, and orderly together with your family.)
