Umali, in partnership with the National and Regional Task Force – ELCAC, conducted the Provincial Task Force Levelling Sessions to Barangays in Nueva Ecija on June 09, 2021 via Zoom Platform.

Pascua, Executive Assistant and Consultant to the Governor on Local Government and Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, representing Governor Umali, mentioned that the Provincial Government of Nueva Ecija through the Governor, had made its valuable contributions and fair share in the desire of the National Government to end local communist armed conflict and ensure lasting peace in the country. He also presented some of the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) Projects - parallel projects of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) in the areas in Nueva Ecija that may have experienced insurgency. Projects such as Water Supply System in Barangay Labi, Bongabon and Sitio Botolan, Burgos, Carranglan were reiterated, among others. According to him, the proportion of projects mentioned may be mere as compared to others, but Gov.

He also accentuated social justice as the work of the government and the people. “Pagdating sa pagtulong sa mga mahihirap ang kulay na ating nakikita ay kulay ng Pilipino na may pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit sa isa’t-isa. Napaka importante po na ang ating mga LGUs, AFP, PNP, DILG and of course with the support and help of other agencies like DTI and TESDA, we believe here in Nueva Ecija, the Provincial Task Force, na darating yung araw [na] mas magiging maliwanag sa ating mga ka-probinsya that the way of peace is the best way… not just the absence of noise or war, nandiyan din yung human development.”
