From the Manila Bulletin (Feb 24): EastMinCom seizes NPA arms cache
Davao City – The Eastern Mindanao Command (EastMinCom) found three arms cache believed to belong to the New People’s Army (NPA) that included six high powered firearms, five improvised explosive devices (IEDs), ammunition, and other war materiel in Compostela Valley.
The 66th Infantry Battalion said it found the cache last February 21 in Barangay Cogonon, New Bataan, Barangay Maparat, and Barangay Osmeña, Compostela.
The discovery was made after the military interviewed 13 former regular members of the NPA from the Guerilla Front 25, Southern Mindanao Regional Command who surrendered to the 66th IB recently.
“The regular members of GF25 who surrendered to the 66IB did not yield any firearms, but generated invaluable information instead,” the military said.
Lt. Col. Palmer Parungao, 66th IB Commander, said rebels were beginning to get demoralized by the operations.
Parungao assured the communities under his area of operations of the continuing efforts of the 66th Infantry (Kabalikat) Battalion to fight any threat to peace.
