From the Philippine Information Agency (Nov 6, 2019): Army to AgNor town officials, residents: Reject communist terrorist group (By 402nd Brigade, CMO)


CABADBARAN CITY, Agusan del Norte, Nov. 6 -- The Army Commander in Caraga urged local leaders and its residents to reject the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) during the Municipal Development Council (MDC) and Municipal Peace and Order Council (MPOC) launching of the Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (MTF-ELCAC) of the Municipality of Jabonga on October 27 at the Multi-Purpose Gym, Barangay Baleguian, Jabonga.

In his speech during the launching of MTF ELCAC in Jabonga town, Col. Maurito Licudine, Commander of the 402nd Infantry (Stingers) Brigade, challenged the local leaders and residents to
reject outright the CTG and its allied left-leaning organizations in order to move forward in one direction particularly in ending the local communist armed conflict and attain a long and lasting peace in the said town.



The launching, as a manifestation of rejection of CTG and support to the EO 70, was also highlighted with the Jabonga MTF ELCAC’s 1st resolution declaring the CPP-NPA-NDF and its allies as persona-non grata in Barangays A. Beltran, Maraiging, Bangonay, Libas and Baleguian of same town.

Present during the joint MDC-MPOC resolution signing of Jabonga which officially created and launched the town's MTF ELCAC were Agusan del Norte Governor Dale Corvera, Agusan del Norte Rep. Ma. Angelica Rosedell Amante-Matba, and other guests from different agencies and stakeholders.

Col. Licudine said the local residents must resist the CTG and reject them from their communities. "Your Army will side by side stand in unity with the local leaders and its people to demonstrate that the CPP-NPA Terrorist (CNTs) and its left-leaning legal organizations have no place in our peace-loving communities," he said.

"It’s easier said than done but with the local leaders leading their constituents in the fight against the terrorist group and at the same time addressing the root causes of the insurgency problem, no doubt we can achieve to end local communist armed conflict in Caraga the soonest possible time,” he added.
