From the Visayan Daily Star (Sep 9): 65 CAFGUs to be deployed
IN SAGAY

The Philippine Army is deploying 65 Special Cafgu Active Auxiliaries in the hinterlands of Sagay City, Negros Occidental, Lt. Col. Rommel Cordova, 62nd Infantry Battalion commander, said yesterday.

The 65 SCAA members, who graduated yesterday from a two-month basic military training at the 303rd Infantry Brigade headquarters in Murcia, will be placed under the supervision of the 12th Infantry “Cadre” Battalion, and operational control of the 62nd Infantry Battalion in northern Negros.
 
Cordova said the deployment of SCAA members, who will compose the personnel of detachments in the hinterlands of Sagay City, is a big help to their visibility operations.
 
Col. Jon Aying, 303rd IB commander, and Mayor Alfredo MaraƱon III attended the graduation rites at the Kauswagan Hall in Sagay City, with Cordova and other military officials.
 
Last month, the 303rd IB also deployed 270 Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit members in the insurgency-affected areas of central Negros.
 
More than 1,000 CAFGUs are now deployed in Negros Occidental, and are supervised by the 12th Infantry (Cadre) Battalion, military records show.
