The Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) announced that it will
intensify its operations against illegal drugs and strengthen anti-terrorism
operations.
This was the directive of EMC head Lt. Gen. Rey Leonardo B.
Guerrero to his subordinate commanders during the semestral command conference
at Naval Station Felix Apolinario, Panacan, Davao City last July 5.
He also instructed his officers to coordinate closely with
their Philippine National Police counterparts on how the EMC could best be able
to support law enforcement operations, intensify intelligence gathering on
illegal drug personalities and other security threats and to conduct anti and
counter-terrorism activities in the area.
Guerrero cited, as basis for such actions, the provisions of
the Joint Action Plan recently signed between the EMC and Directorate for
Integrated Police Operations-Eastern Mindanao.
The directive is in line with the guidelines given by the
President and Commander-In-Chief Rodrigo Roa Duterte to eradicate the drug
menace in the country and the possible attempt by some lawless groups to
sabotage the peace and order in Davao
City that is being
showcased by the President and with the forthcoming Kadayawan Festival.
He further called on all military commanders in Eastern Mindanao to initiate the conduct of drug testing
of all personnel as part of the effort to cleanse the organization of
scalawags, and to enhance security measures being implemented especially in
Davao Region.
