Filled with bittersweet feeling and pride, the peace champions across the province of Davao del Sur have convened to celebrate the outgoing and incoming commanding officers of the Alpha Company, 39th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army on May 19, 2026 at the Alpha Company Headquarters. This event marked the continuing effort of the army to maintain peace and order and to rally peacebuilding initiatives towards sustainable development and excellence.

The turnover ceremony, as attended by important people and partner stakeholders and agencies, highlighted the collaborative efforts signifying the whole-of-community-approach in responding to civic-military endeavors and community development programs. With this, the YFPM-DavSur spearheaded by its president, Abigail Baysac, supported the said change of command to establish an empowered partnership guided by nationalism and youth advancement.

Monumental to the activity is the first ever Novelty Peace Champion Award which has been given to the outgoing commanding officer, CPT. Jerwin L. Esteban, a symbol of undeniable contribution to youth empowerment and in instilling the youth the quality of leadership skills that's strengthened through the test of time.

This endeavor symbolizes teamwork and collaboration in our pursuit of peace and solidarity. There may be a change of leader, but the love of service and the spirit of volunteerism echo loudly enabling a steadfast unity and collective action.

Peace we live; peace we love; and peace we advocate.

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 | Unity in Action: Alpha Company (39IB), Kiblawan LGU, YFPM-Davao del Sur Chapter, Bansalan Cooperative, and Goodlife Foundation lead a joint community outreach program

May 1, 2026 — Alpha Company, 39th Infantry (SMASH’EM) Battalion, spearheaded a comprehensive Community Outreach Program in Sitio Latil, Brgy. Abnate, Kiblawan, Davao del Sur. In collaboration with the Kiblawan Local Government Unit, the Youth for Peace Movement (YFPM) - Davao del Sur Chapter, Bansalan Cooperative, and the Goodlife Foundation, the initiative delivered essential services and vital support to one of the region’s far-flung communities and its Indigenous People (IP) members.

The activity started with the distribution of slippers, bags, toys, and used clothes, free haircut services and feeding activity for the children. The LGU Kiblawan also conducted community needs assessment survey and distributed corn fertilizers for the members of the Latil Peace And Development Volunteers Farmers Association (LAPADEVFA)

This initiative stands as a testament to the enduring mission of Alpha Company, 39th Infantry Battalion. By bridging the gap between government services and remote areas, the unit has profoundly reaffirmed its commitment to the pillars of peace and development. Such engagements do more than provide immediate relief; they foster a culture of mutual trust and cooperation, strengthening the resilient ties between the military and the civilian populace. Ultimately, these collaborative efforts serve as the foundation for a more secure and prosperous future, ensuring that no community, however far-flung, is left behind in the journey toward lasting peace.
