Rotaract Club of Tagbilaran – BISU Chapter hosted a webinar on fostering peace entitled, “Insurgency Awareness” last Saturday, November 27, 2021. The topic was given light by our speaker, Sgt. Vacaro Them. He is well-respected and is the prominent Information Support Affairs NCO of 47IB, Camp Rajah Sikatuna, Carmen, Bohol. 

Sgt. Vacaro Them Sharing His Insight

Sgt. Vacaro Them informed the participants on the insurgency situation in our country, the Philippines. Tiny, poorly equipped gangs operating mostly from rural areas carry out a violent, armed rebellion against authorities. Sgt. Vacaro shared his knowledge and experience about insurgency while he was in service. He underlined the significance of being aware of our country’s current predicament and status. He also informed us about the challenges and dangers posed by these insurgents. The country has been divided, and because we are divided and there is war in our own country, progress cannot be assured. It’s critical that we understand what the country is still fighting for. Sgt. Vacaro also stated that the government is doing all possible to address and resolve the rebellion.  He said that this is not simply the government’s fight, but also ours, and that by being aware, we can help.

Awarding of Certificates for Sgt. Vacaro Them

After Sgt. Vacaro’s powerful and informative lectures, he invited the audience to ask questions for clarifications and extra information. There were a lot of interested heads, and it was obvious that it piqued their attention. Rtr. Jessie Jr. San then formally ended the webinar and went through the most important aspects. It is now a challenge to raise awareness and protect what we value.
