Army commander assures rebel-free region

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 2): Army commander assures rebel-free region

Newly-installed 2nd Infantry Division Commander Brigadier General Romeo Gan has assured the people of Southern Tagalog that he will continue to lead in clearing the villages (barangays) of the influence of the New People’s Army (NPA).

Gan said this is to enable Local Government Units (LGUs) to implement their programs and be able to provide basic services for the people.

Recently, elements of 2nd Infantry Division’s CADRE Battalion recovered one high powered firearm in Cabibihan Village, Calauag, Quezon.

Acting on a tip on the presence of armed group, a squad of Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) Active Auxiliary of Madlangdungan Patrol Base, Bravo Company of the 59th Infantry Battalion while conducting security patrol along the Cabibihan River and scouring the area, recovered an M16 Rifle.

The team was grateful to a concerned resident of Cabibihan Village who voluntarily informed them on the presence of suspected NPA rebels in their village (barangay).

The said high-powered firearm was possibly kept by NPA rebels operating in Quezon.

“We would like to thank the people of Cabibihan, Calauag, Quezon for their continuing support in giving information". Gan said.
