Butuan City – The regional command center of Northern Mindanao Police Regional Office 10 (PRO-10) has placed all field units on “full alert” status in anticipation of more attacks by New People’s Army (NPA) rebels ahead of the insurgent group’s 47th anniversary on March 29.
The command center of PRO-10 based in Camp Alagar, Cagayan de Oro City has ordered all city and provincial police offices as well as municipal police stations to tighten their security and defense perimeters with the NPA anniversary drawing near, as well as the ongoing campaign for the May 9, 2016 national and local elections.
Chief Supt. Lyndel A. Desquitado, regional director of PRO-10 also ordered field unit directors and field officers to conduct round-the-clock patrol in their respective areas of responsibility (AORs).
Supt. Surki Sereñas, PRO-10 regional spokesperson, said the “full alert” status was declared in the entire region, especially in the provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental where the NPA’s presence continues to be prevalent.
The PRO-10 spokesperson said it has been the NPA’s practice “to escalate their tactical operations on or prior to their anniversary celebration.”
In a statement released to various media organization last week, the NPA vowed to continue its offensive attacks to counter the continued military operations in their lairs in some parts of the region, particularly in Bukidnon, Agusan and Surigao provinces.
Meanwhile, the regional command of PRO-10 and PRO-13 urged the peace-loving citizens to report immediately to the nearest local police or military of any information involving security concerns while appealing for cooperation in the fight against the NPA, armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
