The Southern Luzon Command (SOLCOM) has deployed a
100-strong quick reaction force (QRF) in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro Friday as an
augmentation to secure the May 9 national and local elections in the area.
Lt. Col. Angelo Guzman, SOLCOM spokesperson, said the QRF
came from the 2nd Infantry Division based in Tanay, Rizal.
The unit will augment security forces in Mindoro Oriental.
Guzman said the QRF will be under the operational control of
the 203rd Infantry Brigade which covers Oriental and Occidental Mindoro and
Romblon.
"We welcome the deployment of the QRF. They will help
address exigencies on a worst case scenario that is NPA armed intervention
during the elections," 203rd Infantry Brigade commander Col. Gevin D.
Edjawan.
