The commanding officer of the 34IB, Lieutenant Colonel WILLIAM P PENAFIEL JR INF (GSC) PA and its men gives out their full support in promoting peace and order by joining hand in hand through Alay Lakad which started 6:30 early in the morning from the Peoples Center to barangay Talolora of Palapag followed by Coastal Clean Up and Tree Planting activities in some coastal barangays like Barangay Cabatuan, Maragano, Nipa, Binay, Mapno, Paysud, Talalora, Monbon and barangay Pangpang all of Palapag, Northern Samar.

Meanwhile in his message, LTC PENAFIEL said “ the Armed Forces of the Philippines does not only limit its services in supporting the Anti-Illegal Logging Task Force but also supports the different tangible programs such as Coastal Clean-Up and Tree-Planting to ensure sustainable development of resources and protection of our environment to promote biodiversity not just for us but for our children’s sake as well. Let us help each other in creating a cleaner, greener and safer future for our children by doing it in our own little ways. Not tomorrow but today, not just today but everyday and not by other people but through ourselves.”

The Army is now running in full steam to establish a lasting peace and order situation in its area of responsibility by giving its full support in order to attain its mandated mission which is to eradicate the insurgency problem especially in Region 8, Penafiel adds.
