420 3. Updates on Autonomy Advocacy

421
422 Dir. Rimando presented the updates. On the study on the fiscal viability of the
423 autonomous Cordillera, Mayor Domogan commented that the region is fiscally viable

428 relative to the election. He called on everyone to track the development on the
429 various proposed versions of the federal constitution. Relatedly, he affirmed that the
430 region is pursuing the right direction with its stance that is, autonomy towards
431 federalism. He reiterated that the region needs a champion in Congress.
432
433 Relative to the determination of the fiscal viability of the region in an autonomous
434 set-up, Director Rimando shared that how the regional government will be organized
435 has a big implication due to the personnel services, which is about one-third of the

437 regional government in upcoming workshops.
438
439 Responding to the concern on how IECs are conducted, Mayor Domogan called on

644 4. Philippine Army Updates on the Peace and Security of the Region==
645
646 Col Henry M Doyaoen (503rd Bde) presented the following updates on the
647 Peace and Security:
648
649 • As for the confronted threats in the Region, the CNT strength in terms of
650 manpower, firepower and affected barangays are:
651
CNT Organ Manpower Firepower Affected
Barangays
ICRC
Execom 8 14 -
KLG Baggas 33 39 16
KLG Marco 26 32 8
KLG Ifugao 19 5 11
Total 86 90 35
652
653 • For the period October 1-December 14, 2018 the CNT-initiated violent
654 incidents by front committee is negative as well as the incidents by province
655 in CAR.
656 • The increase of CNTs activities in West Com, NFront area for the month of
657 December was due to the shifting of CNTs in the boundary of Apayao and
658 Cagayan to evade the government troops conducting FMOs in Zinundungan
659 Valley Area.
660 • The increase of CNT non-violent activities in Mountain Province for the
661 period can be attributed to the CNTs’ projection of strength in their effort to
662 counter soldiers’ operations and community support programs within their
663 lairs and controlled areas.
664 • For the given period, the CNTs’ activities decreased due to the intensified
665 focused military operations and community support programs conducted by
666 the division.
667 • The top three (3) NPA non-violent activities for the period were movement,
668 visitation and dialogue. The CNTs were monitored to be highly mobile in
669 their conduct of IPO works and expansion activities within their mass bases
670 and other controlled areas.
671 • CNTs density for the given period have significantly decreased in the area of
672 KLG Baggas particularly in Balbalan, Kalinga; KLG Ifugao particularly in
673 Asipulo, Ifugao due to the intensified FMOs and CSPs being conducted by
674 the command.
675 • Their assessment of the KLG Baggas includes:
676 - The CNT activities are still focused in Balbalan and Pinukpuk areas. The
677 bulk of the group has somewhat stayed in their controlled brgys thus
678 resulting to less monitored movements of their main force. While small
679 groups were dispersed in their territory conducting IPO works.
680 - With the current efforts of KLG BAGGAS. It can be surmised that it is
681 expanding and stitching up its boundaries with WC, NF in Apayao and
682 KLG North Abra in Abra.
683 • As for the KLG Marco, their assessments are:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Page 15 of 19
684 - For the given period, most of the CNT movements are confined in the tri-
685 boundary of Bontoc, Sagada and Besao all of Mt Province as they are
686 establishing strong mass support thereat. As of the moment, KLG Marco
687 has started to encroach outside of their perceived GB as part of their
688 expansion efforts.
689 - The monitored consolidation and training of KLG MARCO and the Chadli
690 Molintas Command in the Tri-Boundary of Abra-Ilocos Sur-MP could be
691 an indication that they will be conducting atrocities jointly with other
692 ICRC units.
693 • For the KLG Ifugao, their assessments are:
694 - The movements of KLG IFUGAO is confined in the area of Asipulo. This
695 may be attributed to your soldiers CSP in Tinoc area forcing the said CNT
696 group out of their traditional areas in Tinoc.
697 - The pronounced reduction of CNT activity in the area may be attributed
698 to the constant operations of your soldiers.
699 - The CNTs that were encountered by the 54IB last 07 Oct 18 in Brgy
700 Binablayan, Tinoc are supposed to launch atrocities in order to reassert
701 themselves in Tinoc with the help of their MBs.
702 - Moreover, the CNTs that were encountered by the 54IB last 21 Nov 18
703 are supposed to conduct summing-up in preparation for the celebration
704 of the 50th CPP Anniversary at said area. Because of the decisive results
705 of the encounter, we are hoping that their regular and MBs will
706 surrender. The KLG Ifugao might also disperse into small groups to avoid
707 similar debacles.
708
709 • There are no issues and concerns raised after the presentation. The
710 Chairperson reminded the Philippine Army to submit their briefing to the
711 Secretariat so that the members could have a copy of the presentation.
712
The creation of inter-agency taskforce to end

727 to the Benguet First DEO in November and the agency has to tend to the bidding
728 before road works will proceed. For the Kennon Bridges 1 and 2 in Camp 7, these

739 expected increase in the volume of vehicles coming up to Baguio City which may
740 reached up to 40,000 daily from the minimum of 34,568 vehicles hence, the
741 urgency of the need to address the problem. He requested Director Canlas to
742 convey the message to the Committee in its meeting the next day. He also
743 suggested that DPWH will respond to bring out their side on what were alleged in
744 the letter.

749 Specifically, he mentioned that they have requested Sec. Mark Villar for the
750 funding to light the Asin-Nangalisan Road to encourage people to pass at night
751 time, among others. He mentioned as well that there are matters that are
752 beyond the control of the regional office in which these are to be decided with
753 their Central Office. Mayor Domogan clarified that the decision to open Kennon
754 Road even to light vehicles should be decided at the regional level and not by the
755 Department’s Central Office.
756
