DAVAO DEL NORTE, Jan. 6 (PIA) -- The Youth For Peace Movement - Tagum City Chapter launched the Project Kabute as a livelihood program for the youth rebel returnees, according to its President, Winberth D. San Jose during  the January 5 Network Briefing News.

After winning the project pitching contest during the PANAGHIUSA: International Peace Camp and Grants Competition amounting to P30,000.00 in March 2020, the organization was able to commence the Project Kabute with the said grant, giving a new livelihood program for the former youth rebels.

"Ang project na ito po ay naglalayong mabigyan ang mga kabataan na ito ng pagkakataon na makaghanap-buhay. Also, machange yong kanilang lifestyle po kasi nga po they are former rebels (This project aims to give these youth a chance to earn for a living while changing their lifestyles from rebellion),” San Jose explained. 

San Jose further explained how the former youth rebels will benefit from the project.

"Sa pamamagitan po ng mushroom production kung saan yong seed grant po na napanalunan ay gagawing puhunan para sa kanila at yung magiging profit po ng mushroom production, 100% po dun ay mapupunta po sa mga beneficiary (Through the mushroom production where the seed grant we won last time will fund it, the total profit will be given to them),” he added. 

He also shared that since the project is critical, his organization's coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) strengthened their advocacies fearlessly towards peace and development.

"Itong project na ito po is very critical knowing po na yong mga target beneficiaries natin ay mga former rebels, hindi po basta-basta. Kaya po nakipagtulungan po kami sa ating mga kasundaluhan from 101st Infantry Battalion under ng 10th ID. Yung Philippine Army po kasi sila po yong talagang kasangga. Yung partner talaga po ng Youth for Peace Movement sa pagsulong ng aming adbokasiya para po sa kapayapaan (This project is critical having former youth rebels as the beneficiaries. It's the reason why our main partner is the 101st Infantry Battalion under the 10th ID. They are really our partner towards advocating sustainable peace and development),” he said

The Youth For Peace Movement - Tagum City Chapter is an initiative of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) sustained by community youth leaders advocating for peace and development. (PIA XI Davao del Norte/jmda/Ezri M. Coda, Jr.)
