March 17, 2021 PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte is expected to arrive in Eastern Visayas on Thursday, March 18, 2021, to meet with local officials and personally check the implementation of the Barangay Development Plan (BDP), the nationwide banner program of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac).
“The President will also be visiting Region 8 (Eastern Visayas) to emphasize the government's longstanding commitment to bringing justice to the grieving families of those who perished at the hands of the NPA (New People’s Army) during the Inopacan Massacre and internal purgings in Leyte,” said National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon.
"As the NTF-Elcac has shifted its main effort in 2019 from Mindanao to the Visayas and in Luzon, an additional 1,376 barangays nationwide, including 200 barangays in Region 8, were cleared from 2019 to 2020. These barangays will be covered by the BDP implementation in year 2022," Esperon added.

The Whole of Nation approach to ending the armed conflicts being pursued by the National Task Force to End the Local Communist Armed Conflicts (NTF-ELCAC) is anchored on good governance and would entail direct people’s participation.
Given limited resources of the government, the NTF-ELCAC has focused on eight hundred (800) barangays liberated from the influence and clutches of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) to prove that the communist armed conflict can be ended through good governance.

A SENATOR asked transportation authorities to reduce the interest rate on loans for public vehicles procured under the modernization program to 4% from 6% to lessen the burden on operators and drivers. In a statement on Wednesday, Senator Grace Poe-Llamanzares urged the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board and the LandBank of the Philippines to cut the interest as the sector was hit hard by the pandemic. “If we want to really help our public transport sector transition to PUV (public utility vehicle) modernization, all support must be extended to our operators and drivers who have been among the hardest hit by the pandemic,” Ms. Llamanzares, chair of the Senate committee on public services, said in a statement. Danilo C. Yumul, chairman of the Confederation of Drivers and Operators in Central Luzon, said during the Senate committee hearing on Tuesday that drivers and operators cannot borrow money to buy modern units because of the interest rate and the loan term. He added that drivers could not afford the P40,000 monthly payment for a new vehicle even before the pandemic. Ms. Poe-Llamanzares said the interest rate reduction can serve as a subsidy to the drivers and operators. The Senate on Tuesday tackled Senate Bill No. 867 or the Just and Humane PUV Modernization Act, which proposes that government provide financial assistance of not less than 10% of the total price per unit and the interest rate on loan amortization should not exceed 4%. —

Four years later, in 1992, the campaign, which was then known as DiYes for Peace was recognized by the UP Board of Regents when it resolved to declare all UP campuses a Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality (ZOPFAN), as well as support the campaign inside and outside of UP.
The campaign silently moved on until it was identified as one of the strategies to address the root causes of the insurgency by the 4th National Peace and Order summit in 1995.
