The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in Samar, in collaboration with the 801st Infantry Brigade and the Samar Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, brings government services directly to the doorsteps of those seeking change.
The Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) Caravan has allowed 51 former rebels to reclaim their identities by obtaining a national ID.
This includes three paper-based IDs and one digital ID, each symbolizing a vital step toward rebuilding their lives and reintegrating into society.
Moreover, obtaining three Transaction Reference Numbers (TRNs) offers hope, enabling individuals to better manage the bureaucracy of their new situation, including the Civil Registration Service through the Birth Registration Assistance Project (BRAP).
This initiative highlights the government’s commitment, along with its partners, to promote peace and sustainable development. It emphasizes that every former rebel is recognized as an individual with aspirations and the opportunity to begin anew.
“This caravan is a testament to our collective efforts to achieve long-term peace in Samar. By providing necessary services to former rebels, we are strengthening their trust in the government and paving the way for inclusive development,” said BGEN Lenart R. Lelina, PA.
The E-CLIP Caravan is a key component in reintegration, providing support and resources for individuals seeking to embrace peace and reshape their futures. (AAC PIA Samar with PSA Samar reports)
