From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 10): Compostela Valley gov named new RPOC chair for Davao Region

NABUNTURAN, Compostela Valley – President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed Compostela Valley Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy as Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC) chairman in Davao Region, the post that he once held when he was mayor of Davao City.

Uy’s appointment was also signed by Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ismael Sueno, who serves as chair of the National Peace and Order Council (NPOC).

The appointment was personally handed to Governor Uy by DILG Compostela Valley provincial director Noel Duarte.

Among the basis of Governor Uy’s appointment to head the RPOC was his best practices in ensuring peace and stability in the province that resulted to the declaration of Compostela Valley as conflict manageable and development ready area.

ComVal is home to many fronts of the New People’s Army (NPA) and has seen so many atrocities before it was declared as development ready.
