The Cagayan De Oro-based 4th Infantry Division announced it has deployed three battalions to pursue New People's Army (NPA) fighters who had attacked and abducted four police officers detailed at the Alegria Municipal Police Station last July 10.
A battalion consists of 500 to 1,000 soldiers.
"We will continue our operations until we recover the four police officers captured by the rebels," said 4th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Ricardo Visaya.
Operations are now focused in forested areas of Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte.
Visaya said that unprovoked attack on the police station and the abduction of the four policemen are serious atrocities on the part of the NPA.
