More local government units are benchmarking to Davao Oriental for its best practices in the sustainability of peace and order through Expanded-Comprehensive Local Integration Program implementation.
On September 20, 2018, two more provinces – Misamis Occidental and Occidental Mindoro came over to see for themselves how the program is being implemented, to replicate the best practice to their respective provinces.
Showcasing such successful implementation is the establishment of a Halfway House Processing Center, or the Happy Home for former rebels, where they will undergo rehabilitation and prepare them in their eventual comeback to the society.
Governor Mario Gene Mendiola of Occidental Mindoro admitted that he led the group in their benchmarking after Davao Oriental is known to be a best implementor of the program.
"I want to see how you do it here. I've heard of your good practices and I want to replicate it in my province. That's why the long travel was not a hindrance in coming here. One good thing in Davao Oriental is that the anti-insurgency program does not stop in the surrender of the rebels, but even beyond, with the opportunities given to them to start life anew," he said.
The Governor admitted the presence of the lawless elements in his province, and he intends to address this, through the things that they will learn from the benchmarking.
In her message, Misamis Occidental Governor Herminia Ramiro said that the benchmarking is a manifestation of the good governance that Davao Oriental is showcasing.
Davao Oriental Governor Nelson Dayanghirang is elated with the continuous commendations and recognitions made by other LGUs to the way how Davao Oriental found the path to counter the problem on peace and order.
