The 41st IB covers 13 of the 27 municipalities of Abra, where the unit successfully accomplished triad operations with its strengthened personnel and logistics administration.

The implementation of the Internal Peace Security Plan (IPSP) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines dubbed as Bayanihan, had gained popular support to the 41st IB from the local chief executives, and stakeholders working together toward peace security and development.

The contribution of the officers and men of the 41st IB as individual troopers had contributed to the unit’s outstanding performance that they have been recognized since 2011.

In his acceptance message, Domingo said the recognition serves as a continuing inspiration for all his troopers to continue doing even better and be of service to the Abrenians, to God and their country.
