The Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) has awarded medals to four officers and an enlisted man for their meritorious accomplishment and gallantry in the maintenance of law and order in the Zamboanga Peninsula area.

Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Westmincom, led the awarding of medals during his visit Saturday to the headquarters of the Army’s 102nd Infantry Brigade in Barangay Sanito, Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.

Conferred with Medal of Gawad sa Kaunlaran (Award in Development) were First Lieutenants Kevin Polon and Vincent June Pabonita of the Army’s 10th Infantry Battalion.

Awarded with Silver Cross Medal were Lt. Col. Don Templonuevo and 1Lt. Jestoni Labarosa of the 44th Infantry Battalion while Pfc. Rey Tenajeros of the 97th Infantry Battalion was conferred with a Military Merit Medal.

“Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the officers, men, and women of the 102nd Infantry Brigade for the series of successful combat operations,” Sobejana said during his visit in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.

The Army’s 102nd Infantry Brigade has sustained its focused military operation against the New People’s Army (NPA) in its area of operation amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) crisis.

“We have to sustain our gains and our efforts. We should not limit only to combat operations, there are a lot of things to be done so that this area will become peaceful and tranquil, and conducive for business development,” Sobejana said.
