Military command resumes operations against NPA terrorists

From Update Philippines (Jan 4): Military command resumes operations against NPA terrorists 


 The Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said it has resumed its “proactive measures to protect communities from harassment of NPA terrorists”. This is after the Suspension of Military Operations (SOMO) expired at 11:59 pm on January 2, 2018.

EMC has noted several attacks made by NPA terrorists while the government is implementing SOMO.

EMC commander Lieutenant General Benjamin R. Madrigal Jr.said that these were committed by the NPAs while the EMC units on the ground have strictly followed the SOMO to give all Filipinos the time, including the NPAs to spend the holidays with their families without fear.

Lieutenant General Madrigal told his troops to “continue protecting vulnerable communities from armed threats and deception of the NPA as they intend to conduct more terroristic acts as pronounced during their anniversary.”

“Our efforts on assisting other line government agencies in facilitating the delivery of government services in the geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA) must also continue and be pursued,” he added.
