Relative to this, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed Monday, between DSWD-10 and offices in Regions 9 (Western Mindanao) and 12 (Soccsksargen).
The MOA signing was supervised by DSWD Undersecretary Alan Tanhusay and Assistant Secretary Arnel Garcia.
It is recalled that before this new development, DSWD-12 oversees all MILF DCs, but officials said that a decentralized approach would be more sustainable.
"The management of MILF DCs will now be assumed by DSWD field offices 9 and 10," a statement said.
The decommissioning of former MILF combatants is part of the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro signed in 2014 between the government and the MILF at Malacanang Palace ground.
