The Nueva Ecija-based 7th Infantry Division has deployed 120 soldiers to its three battalions operating in the Davao Region.

Capt. Mark Anthony Ruelos, 7th Infantry Division spokesperson, said that the newly trained privates will augment their 69th, 71st and 84th Infantry Battalions, which is currently operating at the Davao Region.
