ZAMBOANGA CITY -- The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) is conducting a three-day strategic planning workshop here.

Maj. Arvin John Encinas, Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) spokesperson, said the workshop opened Wednesday and ends Friday with BARMM officials, soldiers and policemen as participants.

Encinas said the activity, spearheaded by the Department of National Defense (DND), aims to apprise the regional task force on the BARMM and the security concepts of Executive Order 70.

President Rodrigo Duterte issued EO 70 institutionalizing the "whole-of-nation" approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace, creating a national task force to end local communist armed conflict, and directing the adoption of a national peace framework.

Encinas said the three-day activity will also serve as the venue for the identification of the problems of BARMM and the possible solutions through the National Task Force framework.

He said the participants will also designate the BARMM RTF-ELCAC officials during the three-day workshop.

Encinas said the three-day workshop aims to formulate a strategic plan of the regional task force, which will provide guidance on the operationalization of the EO 70 and other security concerns in BARMM. (PNA)
