From the Manila Bulletin (Mar 29, 2019): Army braces for NPA attacks in Northern Luzon
CAMP AQUINO, Tarlac City — The Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) intensified its operations against the New People’s Army (NPA) ahead of the communist rebel group’s 50th anniversary.
The operations were stepped up following a series of burning incidents in the municipality of Cagayan from February 28 to March 5.
Units under Nolcom, the 5th Infantry Division (5ID), the 7th Infantry Division (7ID), Tactical Operations Wing Northern Luzon (TOWNOL), and Naval Forces Northern Luzon (NFNL) were placed on standby status ahead of the NPA anniversary Friday.
Lt. Gen. Emmanuel Salamat, Nolcom commander said: “We are strengthening and enhancing our military capabilities and coordination with other concerned agencies and stakeholders to mitigate and stop these atrocious attacks of the Communist NPA terrorists.”
“We are asking everyone to be more vigilant on the suspicious movement or activities of the CNTs in your locality and please do not be afraid to coordinate with the soldiers and our police counterpart if these suspicious activities are observed inside your communities as a preventive measure against these acts of atrocities” he added.
