The Philippine Army will pull out the 302nd Infantry Brigade
from Negros Oriental on Nov. 15 for deployment to Bohol .
Col. Francisco Delfin, commander of the 303rd Infantry
Brigade, said Thursday that the unit will then have full jurisdiction of the
military operations under the Negros Island Region.
The 303rd Brigade is based in Barangay Minoyan , Murcia
With the pullout of 302nd Brigade, the two Army battalions
in Negros Oriental, including the 11th IB and the 79th IB, will remain.
Delfin said that after Nov. 15, the 303rd Brigade will have
four battalions under its command.
The two others are the 47th IB in southern Negros and the
62nd IB in northern Negros .
The thrust of the Army is one brigade for one island, Delfin
said as he assured Negrenses that the island’s internal security is still in
place despite the pullout of the 302nd Brigade.
“The people of Negros have
nothing to worry about,” he added.
