CAMP ELIAS ANGELES, Pili, Camarines Sur-An arms cache believed to be owned by the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) was seized yet again by government troops in Barangay Tigkiw, Gubat, Sorsogon at around 4:35 in the morning, Wednesday, July 15.
Elements of 31st Infantry Battalion (31IB) and the PNP conducted a security operation after concerned citizens informed them about the abandoned firearms which resulted in the discovery of two UZI sub machine guns, one M16A1 rifle, two caliber .45 pistols, four caliber .38 revolvers, various magazines and at least 200 rounds of assorted ammunition.
Joint Task Force Bicolandia (JTFB) head, MGEN HENRY A ROBINSON JR PA, lauded the troops for the persistent and extensive military operations which continue to yield positive results.
“Ito na ang pangatlong beses na may nadiskubre tayong arms cache gawa ng masisipag at maaasahan nating troops on the ground. Maliban pa ito sa suportang ibinibigay ng publiko at ng mga dating myembro ng CTG na malaki ang naitulong sa ating mga matagumpay na operasyon. They chose the path of peace and they are now fully supporting the government’s intensified anti-insurgency campaigns,” MGen Robinson said.
It can be recalled that last June 27, an arms cache was also discovered in Bulan, Sorsogon and two days later, another one was seized in Labo, Camarines Norte.
These recoveries, according to MGen Robinson, are proof that we are winning the fight against insurgency.
“Dumarami na ang mga armas at kagamitan na ating nakukuha sa mga kumunistang NPA dahil na rin sa sumbong ng ating mga kababayan. This is a strong manifestation that we are winning; that our fight against insurgency in the region is gaining the much needed momentum. Marami ng mga baril at kagamitan nila ang basta na lang nilang iniiwan; isang indikasyon ito na marami na ang umaalis sa kanilang hanay. Gayun pa man ay bukas pa rin ang ating pinto sa kanilang pagbabalik loob.” MGen. Robinson added.
