CAMP MONTECLARO, Miagao, Iloilo, Jan. 31 --The Philippine Army’s 61st Infantry Battalion lauded the bold action of Igbaras town in Iloilo against the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) Terrorist after passing a resolution declaring the group as persona-non-grata.
“Igbaras is the first town in the province of Iloilo this year that declares communist-terrorists as persona non- grata, said 61st IB Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Joel Benedict Batara.
Batara also assured the local government of Igbaras of the Army’s support in its quest to end local communist armed conflict.
“I am also encouraging other LGUs in the province to take a bold step against this group now, and don’t let them enter your peaceful community,” he said.
The resolution was passed by Igbaras Municipal Peace and Order Council (MPOC) led by mayor Jaime Esmeralda, January 30.
Members of the MPOC agreed to pass the said resolution in support to the Executive Order (EO) 70 that institutionalizes the whole-of-nation approach in ending local communist armed conflict.
Batara likewise encouraged the council to continue helping the government in its battle against insurgency.
“Let us start our 2020 right. The terrorists are no longer significant and we do not want our children and the children of our children to become the next victims of their selfish and bloody armed struggle. Let’s do our share in making them forever irrelevant,’’ he stressed. (JBG/1Lt. Hazel Joy Durotan)
