TACLOBAN CITY — Catbalogan City has been formally recognized as achieving a "Stable Internal Peace and Security Condition," a designation that reflects government success in countering communist insurgent activities in the locality. The declaration was announced during an official ceremony held Wednesday, positioning the city alongside other Eastern Visayas municipalities that have reached this critical security benchmark.
The certification represents the culmination of coordinated efforts between local government units, law enforcement agencies, and security forces to maintain peace and prevent the resurgence of armed communist movements in the region.
