Posted to Katropa DWDD-CRS Virtual RTV (Feb 23, 2019): NPA Terrorist Killed in MisOr Encounter
Claveria, Misamis Oriental - A New People's Army terrorist was killed after an encounter around 10am this morning (Feb 23, 2019) in an uninhabited area in the hilly boundary of the municipalities of Talisayan and Medina, both of Misamis Oriental province.
Soldiers and Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) members under 2LT Viernes of 58 Infantry Battalion encountered the NPAs believed members of PPH Platoon of Felot, SRC1 led by a certain "Dallas".
“Our relentless operations in the remote areas are meant to drive the NPA terrorists away from communities so their imposition of permit-to-campaign and permit-to-win fees on candidates for the upcoming elections will be ineffective and useless", LtCol Roy Derilo said.
Also, five high-powered firearms (4 M16 rifles & 1-AK47 rifle) were seized by government troops in the encounter site.
Last February 18, another member of the NPA was killed on pursuit operations by Army's Special Forces in Lantapan, Bukidnon through the help of the information provided by the locals.
“Civilians are tipping off precise location of NPA terrorist hideouts and activities as they declare the CPP-NPA as "persona non grata" or undesirable people not welcome in their communities”, Col Edgardo De Leon, 403rd Bde Commander said.
The 4th Infantry Division Commander BGen Franco Nemesio Gacal also assured the security of patrols in the hinterlands so the NPA terrorists will not have the chance to disrupt the government's peacekeeping campaign as they embark on a Peaceful War by bringing in government services to resolve social ills in the remote communities. | PRESS RELEASE
