EMC to intensify anti-illegal drugs, anti-terror operations

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 7): EMC to intensify anti-illegal drugs, anti-terror operations

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.
