Government forces have discovered a newly-abandoned camp of
the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in the hinterlands of Zamboanga del Sur, a
military official announced Tuesday.
Capt. Maria Rowena Muyuela, Western Mindanao Command
(Westmincom) information officer, said the camp was found shortly after 10 a.m.
Sunday in Barangay Cabaloran, Midsalip, Zamboanga del Sur.
Midsalip, which comprises of 33 barangays, is a fourth class
municipality in the province
of Zamboanga del Sur
Midsalip is described as an interior municipality that is
located 21.8 kilometers inland from the national highway and just slightly on
the eastern part of Zamboanga del Sur.
Muyuela said the troops from the Army’s 53rd Infantry
Battalion were on security operations when they discovered the camp which can
accommodate around 100 persons.
She said based on the report from the troops on the ground
that the NPA has abandoned the camp three days ago before it was discovered.
She said the military troops intensified and continuously
conduct security patrol to assist the police and local government units in
curbing out activities by lawless elements in Zamboanga del Sur.
