Balagtey said a former NPA rebel, a certain “Tarzan” who recently surrendered informed the troops that two M16 and one AK47 rifles were buried in Sitio Salyan.
He said last Feb. 25, soldiers recovered an AK 47 and a Garand rifle also in Malapatan.
Balagtey said on the same day, the 66th Infantry Battalion also recovered 11 firearms in Sitio Danawan, Barangay Manurigao, New Bataan town in Davao de Oro.
Balagtey said NPA rebels who had surrendered gave most of the information where the NPA hid their firearms and explosives.
He said troops from the 88th Infantry Battalion also recovered seven shotguns, a Garand rifle, several landmines and detonating cords in Valencia City, Bukidnon. (Froilan Gallardo / MindaNews)
