10th ID commander Major General Allan D. Hambala, alongside other key leaders, personally received the award from Vice President and Department of Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte during the Joint Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (JRTF-ELCAC) 11 meeting.
10th ID during the meeting presented the comprehensive security updates, programs, and initiatives focused on maintaining peace in the region.
The meeting also tackled other threats in the region, specifically the urban operatives linked to the Communist Terrorist Group, such as underground mass organizations disguised as legal fronts but associated with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
Vice President Duterte in her message emphasized the need to protect the indigenous people, youth, and student sector from recruitment by the Communist Terrorist Group.
"Kaya humihingi din kami ng tulong ninyo para maprotektahan ang mga kabataan natin at masiguro na sila ay nasa loob ng paaralan at sila ay makapagtapos na ng pag-aaral," Duterte said.
"Hindi dahil Davao Region ay Insurgency Free ay wala na tayong problema dahil anytime, any issue, any complaints na pwedeng sakyan, na pwedeng e-utilize ng CPP-NPA-NDF na grupo diyan sa ating mga communities can spark movements," she said.
