"Dili nako maantos nga mutan-aw na lang sa mga terorista nga nagpadayon sa pagdaut sa among komunidad. Ang ilang pag-abot nagdala og kahadlok ug kalisod sa among mga panimalay. Mao kini ang nagpukaw sa akong determinasyon nga magbuhat og aksyon, bisan pa nga kahibalo ko nga ila kong dumtan. Ako ning gibuhat aron masiguro ang kalinaw ug kahapsay sa among pagpuyo," the civilian informant said in bisaya dialect stating how determined he is in providing information of the whereabouts of the Communist Terrorists for the sake of peace in their community.

Governor Yu expressed his deepest gratitude to his constituents, emphasizing the invaluable contribution made towards safeguarding the peace and stability of the region. He reiterated the government's resolute stance against all forms of terrorism and assured continuous support for efforts aimed at upholding peace and security in the province.

The presentation of the 1 million peso reward symbolizes not only appreciation for the civilian informant's bravery but also serves as a testament to the collective resolve of the community in defeating terrorism. It is a reminder that every citizen has a role to play in safeguarding the welfare of their fellow countrymen and ensuring a peaceful and prosperous future for all.
