Transcript

00:00 The 5th Special Forces Battalion was established

00:03 because of the successful campaign of the Daula Islamiya Counter Terrorist in South Cotabato.

00:09 Oliver Rivera, PAS Oxygen, was at the center of the news.

00:13 The government of South Cotabato established the 5th Special Forces Battalion of the Philippine Army

00:22 because of their successful campaign against the terrorist Daula Islamiya Magid Group.

00:28 After they won the prestigious AFP Streamer Award

00:33 by the Malacanang Department of National Defense,

00:35 the group was dismantled after the declaration.

00:40 According to 5th SF Battalion Commander Colonel Carly Leo Nagac,

00:44 the military cannot do this without the help of all sectors of the population,

00:50 especially the residents.

00:52 This achievement is not only for the Special Forces

00:57 and the Philippine Army or the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

01:00 but more importantly actually it is for South Cotabato.

01:04 This accomplishment, dismantling the Daula Islamiya

01:08 is a very good example of not only the whole of government approach,

01:13 but more so the whole of nation approach.

01:15 We cannot go through the military approach,

01:21 but what we did here is we found bridges.

01:25 So, bridges where we can communicate

01:29 to the members of this group to return their feelings to our government.

01:34 Meanwhile, according to Governor Reynaldo Tamayo Jr.,

01:37 this is an opportunity for more businessmen and tourists to enter the province.

01:43 The local government will also ensure

01:47 that the proper and proper service will be provided,

01:51 especially to remote communities,

01:53 to avoid recruitment, especially to the youth of terrorist groups.

01:59 When we do this, the economy will run well,

02:04 the livelihood of each person will be good

02:09 because the most important thing is that everyone is rooted

02:14 in a peace and order situation in a community.

02:17 So, for now, the province is generally peaceful

02:21 not only because of the efforts of the government,

02:25 but also because of the unity we have seen

02:29 and the assistance we have seen from the South Punta Batcayne.
