THE MUNICIPALITY of Dangcagan in Bukidnon has issued Executive Order No. 29, urging residents to adopt a “culture of security” in support of the government’s anti-terrorism and peacekeeping initiatives.
The directive aims to promote vigilance, cooperation, and shared responsibility among citizens to enhance community-based security within the municipality.
The initiative highlights four key principles every resident is encouraged to practice: Volunteer in community patrols and inspections; Report any suspicious activities;
Remind others to follow security measures and participate actively in local defense and peacekeeping programs.
The order also underscores proper conduct during security operations—such as slowing down at checkpoints and staying alert in public places—to ensure safety and coordination with authorities.
The 89th Infantry Battalion, 10th Infantry Division and its operationally controlled unit, the Bravo Company of the 72nd Infantry Battalion (72IB) under the leadership of 1Lt John Kevin Balagtas, expressed full support for the LGU’s efforts.
The Army units emphasized that civilian participation plays a vital role in sustaining peace and national security.
Through the united efforts of the local government, security forces, and the community, Dangcagan envisions a safer, more resilient environment against potential threats.
