CARAGA (DWDD) – Troops from the 4th Infantry Division has achieved continuous success in their campaign to bring peace in Mindanao, particularly in the CARAGA Region.
Major General Benjamin Madrigal, 4ID Commander, praised the relentless efforts of the soldiers, from the declaration as Conflict Manageable and Ready for Further Development of Agusan Del Norte last February 21, up to the successful operations undertaken by the 401st Infantry Brigade under Col Alexander Macario where they overtook a major camp of the New People’s Army (NPA).
The armed engagement, the 22nd for the past month, led to the discovery of the rebels main camp in CARAGA located at the mountainous part of Jabonga, that resulted in the neutralization of three NPA members, recovery of one M14 and six AK47 rifles, four landmines, four handheld radios, 17 rounds of 60MM and five rounds of 81MM mortars, and NPA belongings, subversive documents with high intelligence value.
General Madrigal expressed sadness whenever Filipino lives are lost and reiterated that if only the NPA leadership have not deceived these people, they would still be living peacefully with their families.
He added that today (March 29) is supposedly the anniversary of the NPA, but we are celebrating the triumph of our soldiers for the Filipinos.
Madrigal thanked the peace-loving people of CARAGA who grew sick and tired of the extortion activities and intimidation of these lawless elements, where many have helped in providing vital information leading to the NPAs location.
Lastly, he called on the remaining rebels still hiding in the mountains that armed struggle is never an option in a democratic society and urged them to think and reflect for the future of their love ones and their countrymen. AES / MCAG
