Kauswagan Village, which is the resettlement community of the peace builders, will have its own school, chapel, playground, and area for livelihood where they can earn from the packages, trainings and support acquired through programs from various agencies like DA, TESDA, and DTI under the ECLIP and social integration initiatives..

“The provincial government has been exerting all efforts, providing basic services to the community, and giving assistance to former rebels through collaborative and joint efforts from the local and national government just to achieve lasting peace in this part of the region,” said Governor Edwin Ongchuan.

The housing program for peace builders is just one of the services and assistance accorded to former rebels who return to the folds of law and wanted to reintegrate themselves into society. (AND/PIA-Northern Samar)
