The Southern Luzon Command said on Friday that its units
neutralized 124 New People's Army (NPA) rebels, including 18 ranking leaders,
during the course of operations in 2014.
This is broken down into 12 killed, 33 captured and 79 who
voluntarily surrendered, Major Angelo Guzman, Southern Luzon Command
spokesperson, said.
Guzman said the capture of these individuals prevented the
recruitment of new members for their armed component.
Civil-military operations efforts of "Bayanihan"
teams led to the clearing of 40 barangays from enemy influence.
“Our focused military operations in 2014 gained headway in
diminishing mass-based support on the Communist Party and the NPA,” Southern
Luzon Command head Major Gen. Ricardo Visaya said.
He added that their community-based peace and development
efforts in partnership with various stakeholders effectively complemented their
focused military operations.
Most of the "Bayanihan" projects were integral
part in the conduct of peace and development operations in the barangays.
A total of 9,443 various projects and activities with
stakeholders were conducted, including community services, medical assistance,
cleanliness and beautification, feeding programs, sports festivities, and
visits to camp facilities.
