TAGO, Surigao del Sur – The army’s 36th Infantry (Valor) Battalion captures Communist NPA terrorist (CNT) food cache at the vicinity of Sitio Nakatindog, Brgy Bayogo, Madrid, this province yesterday, October 16, 2019, at around 2 o’clock in the morning.
The said CPP-NPA food cache was found in an unidentified cave through the intervention and revelation of one of the former rebel who surrender to the government. Troops of 36IB immediately responded and proceeded to the said place. Recovered within the food cache are composed of seven (7) gallons of rice in 20 litres each.
According to the revelation, it was disclosed that the CNT left their food cache for safekeeping and for future purposes and to move away to avoid the operating troops. It was believed that that said food cache was from the Sandatahang Yunit Pampropaganda (SYP), Weakened Guerilla Front 30 (WGF30) of the North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC).
Elements of 36IB are conducting a series of combat operations within the area of operation to thwarts any violent activities of the CNT to the peace-loving communities. The presence of the operating troops in the area preempts the CNT’s to recover their supply cache.
It can be recalled that a supply cache was also seized by the 36IB troopers at Purok Salikot, Sitio Bato, Brgy Bitaugan, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur last April 17, 2019 which were left for safekeeping in their trusted contact/supporter in the barangays purposely to ease some loads carried by CNTs during movement and when conducting harassments or to avoid the operating troops.
In his statement, Ltc Jezreel Diagmel, Acting Commanding Officer of the 36IB said that thep series of disclosure by formerly trusted confidantes of the CNTs adds to the mounting indication that they are losing mass support.
“The captures of said supplies are a significant blow to their compartmentalized and restricted movement. We were able to successfully do this due to the increasing shift of former rebel support in favor of the government,” Army official added.
He further added that people seek peace and abhor violence as a means to create a thriving society. It is very clear that the former rebels itself are cooperating to the army in preventing the CNT’s to continue their futile armed struggle against the government.
The said items were deposited at the Advance Command Post (ACP) of 36IB supply room at Brgy San Juan, Madrid, SDS for safekeeping and to be further turned over to 36IB headquarters.
