THE 62nd Infantry Battalion (IB) of the Philippine Army discovered a hideout of the New People’s Army (NPA) at the hinterlands of Barangay Buenavista in Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental on January 1.
A press release of the 303rd Infantry Brigade (IBde) said the hideout can accommodate 20 persons.
The camp, which is near a cliff, has a good water source, a makeshift kitchen, formation area, and guard post.
The NPA hideout was discovered when the military troops were conducting combat operations in the area.
Colonel Benedict Arevalo, commander of the 303rd Brigade based in Murcia town, commended the troops.
He expressed his gratitude to the community for giving information on the location of the said hideout.
Arevalo also reminded the troops to be relentless and aggressive in running after the rebels in order to prevent them from conducting any atrocities.
“Your army will continue to conduct military operations with the support of the locals in the area to prevent the NPAs from doing terroristic and extortion activities against our people especially that the election is fast approaching,” he added.
