ARMY soldiers are set to build 12 homes for erstwhile adversaries in Eastern Samar in keeping with the government’s overall peace-building efforts nationwide.
Five houses will be constructed in Can-avid town, another five in Dolores, and two in Maslog. The projects, worth P4.2 million, will be bankrolled by the Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative.
A ground-breaking ceremony and signing of a memorandum of agreement signalling the start of construction were held Tuesday at the G-Park Covered Court in Can-avid, led by the Army’s 801st Infantry Brigade (IB).
“Today’s ceremony is more than just the start of a construction project —it is a symbol of hope, transformation, and renewed trust in our government and communities,” 801st IB commander Col. Arlino Sendaydiego said.
