23 April, 2026 (Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon) β The Local Amnesty Board of Cagayan de Oro (LAB CDO) distributed its first batch of Safe Conduct Pass (SCP) Cards issued by the National Amnesty Commission (NAC) for applicants filed through the 1st Special Forces Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment (Airborne), SOCOM PA.
The twenty (20) recipients were presented with the SCP Cards at the Headquarters of the 1SFB PA in Barangay Mampayag, Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon on 23 April 2026. These amnesty applicants were previously awarded with the originally printed SCPs in a ceremony held at the Kaamulan Grounds in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon in 2025.The newly released cards are aimed to provide ease and convenience for amnesty applicants to carry around as these are less bulky and not prone to the usual wear and tear caused by constant mobility and transport. This serves as a strong guarantee of their protection from arrest and detention while their applications are still being processed.
In his message, a representative from the βFriends Rescuedβ expressed his sincere gratitude to the NAC for the issuance of the SCPs citing that this privilege has enabled them to visit and be reunited with their families whom they have not seen or have been in contact with for a very long time.
βNaghanda ang akong mama sa akong pag-uli ug gi frame pa ang akong SCP tungod sa iyanβng kalipay nga naka uli akoβ (My mother prepared a huge meal upon my return and even had my SCP framed because of her happiness at my homecomingβ).
The 1SFB PA under the Command of LTC Emilio T. Bautista INF (GSC) PA, represented by CMO Officer MAJ Bilver F. Butale (INF) PA and CPT Mahathir Jomar Cayda PA, also presented LAB CDO with a token of its appreciation for the continued partnership and support in ensuring the fast and seamless processing of the applications of FRs under the unitβs custody.
