The Philippine Army’s 303rd Infantry Brigade (IBde) based in Negros Occidental continues to support government efforts in the battle against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
Col. Inocencio Pasaporte, commander of 303IBde, said that troops in the province are providing augmentation support in security, manpower, and logistics to the Provincial Inter-Agency Task Force.
“Your Army in Negros will continue its mandate especially in supporting the efforts of the local government units to prevent and contain the spread of Covid-19 in the province. We will continue to provide troops or manpower as well as mobility assets,” Pasaporte said in a statement on Wednesday.
The 303IBde, with headquarters in Murcia, Negros Occidental, supervises the 94th, 79th, and 62nd Infantry Battalions (IBs) based in northern and central Negros.
On Tuesday, brigade troops joined the personnel of the 14th Civil Military Operations Battalion, Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard, and Bureau of Fire Protection in providing manpower and transportation assistance during the hauling of additional personal protective equipment (PPE) for government hospitals, which arrived at the Bacolod-Silay Airport.
In the north, troops of 79IB based in Sagay City have been providing security in the barangays during the distribution of social amelioration grants, and social pension for indigent senior citizens.
On Tuesday, the 3rd Infantry Division (3ID), which covers Western and Central Visayas, vowed to abide by the directive of President Rodrigo Duterte to deploy troops that will assist in the distribution of government cash assistance.
In a statement, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said: “We feel the express desire of the President to provide immediate intervention measures to address the need to bring amelioration assistance to the people forthwith. The AFP will comply. Hearing this directive from the Commander-in-Chief, our field commanders will institute necessary adjustments in our troop deployment.”
Major Cenon Pancito, public affairs chief of the 3ID, said they will fully comply as part of the organization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
