Capiz-based 3rd ID neutralizes 30 rebels in first semester

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 9): Capiz-based 3rd ID neutralizes 30 rebels in first semester

The Capiz-based 3rd Infantry Division said on Thursday that its units neutralized 30 New People's Army (NPA) rebels during the first semester of this year.

Of this number, four were arrested through joint military-police law enforcement operations, while 26 others surrendered to 3rd Infantry Division units.

Major Ray Tiongson, 3rd Infantry Division spokesperson, said they also recovered 20 firearms and 16 explosive materials and captured 19 NPA camps during the same period.

Major Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero, 3rd Infantry Division commander, said the successful operations against the rebels were attributable to the complementary and concerted efforts of the military, police and other stakeholders through “Dagyaw Para sa Kalinong” (Working Together for Peace).

The campaign also paved the way for the declaration of all the provinces in their area of operations as "Peaceful and Ready for Further Development."
