CAMP MONTECLARO, Igtuba, Miagao Iloilo – The Philippine Army’s 61st Infantry Battalion under the leadership of LTC Joel Benedict Batara lauded the bold action of Igbaras town in Iloilo against 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-terrrorists as persona non- grata. Rest assured that we will give our full support to the local government of Igbaras in its quest to end local communist armed conflict. And, I am encouraging other LGUs in the province to take a bold step against this group now, and don’t let them enter your peaceful community,” LTC Batara said.
The said resolution was passed by Igbaras Municipal Peace and Order Council (MPOC) led by Honorable Jaime Esmeralda, the Municipal Mayor on Friday, January 30, 2019.
Members of the MPOC agreed to pass the said resolution in support to the Executive Order (EO) 70 or the institutionalization of the whole-of-nation approach in ending local communist armed conflict. LTC Batara further 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’’.
