The Center for Development Programs in the Cordillera (CDPC) and its partner people’s organizations (POs) are working towards the realization of prosperity, peace, and security in the province of Abra. Unfortunately, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and some Local Government Units (LGUs) have labeled these initiatives as “unfriendly” and CDPC services as terrorist activities.
