Troopers from the Capiz-based 3rd Infantry Division have
started their "Troop Information & Education" (TI&E) prior to
their deployment to the Philippine National Police (PNP) for checkpoint and
patrol operations in Western and Central Visayas .
This is in connection to the proclamation made by President
Rodrigo R. Duterte through Proclamation Number 55 declaring a state of lawless
violence last Sept. 4, after the Davao City blast which killed 14 people and
injured more than 60 others last Sept. 2.
“With the increasing military presence in some identified
places, I instructed all field commanders to conduct pre-deployment briefing to
troops before deployment and conduct of a regular information drive which we
term it in the military as TI&E," 3rd Infantry Division commander
Major Gen. Harold Cabreros said.
Under Section 18, Article VII of the 1987 Constitution, the
President as the Commander-in-Chief of all Armed Forces of the the Philippines
whenever it becomes necessary, “may call out such Armed Forces to prevent or
suppress lawless violence, invasion or rebellion”.
The 3rd Infantry Division is tasked to conduct support to
intensified checkpoint operations and visibility patrols in critical road
networks, vital installations, transport/bus terminals and seaports and
airports and conduct inspections/searches to suspected terrorists in
coordination with the PNP and other law enforcement agencies.
