BALER, AURORA – In line with National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), the army’s 91st Infantry (Sinagtala) Battalion, 7ID, is continuously conducting Community Support Program (CSP) as part of the parameters and procedures in clearing the affected Barangays from Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) influence and affectation.

CSP also serves as bridge between the government and the communities and facilitate the resolution of issues in the Barangay in collaboration with the local government units (LGUs) and concerned agencies.

In relation with this, combined elements of Community Support Program (CSP) of Alpha Company, 91IB under the leadership of 1LT JUN NINO O ESPORA together with, 1PMFC, NEPPO, and Gabaldon MPS led by PCPT GUY R PACAMO, OIC successfully facilitated the withdrawal of support and membership of sixty three (63) individuals composed of Alyansang Magbubukid na Nagkakaisa (ALMANA), Militiang Bayan and exploited local residents to CPP-NPA-NDF and its Communist Front Organizations (CFO) at Barangay Ligaya, Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija on 17 July 2020.

The activity was also in line with the effective implementation of the Provincial Task Force Nueva Ecija to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC).

Said activity was witnessed by the PNP, Brgy Council, PESO Gabaldon, and Local Officials headed by Hon. Mayor Jobby P Emata of Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija as the Guest Speaker.

1LT ESPORA led the Pledge of Support and Signing of Commitment to the government followed by the burning of NPA Flag and Peace/Condemnation Rally around the said barangay to denounce the atrocities committed by the NPA bandits in different parts of the country.

“The withdrawal of support to CPP/NPA/NDF and the peace rally are clear manifestations that they are just used by the latter to fight against the government. And it is a big blow to the members of KLG Sierra Madre and its front organizations because it affects their logistical and mass base recovery works,” LTC REANDREW P RUBIO INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of 91IB said.

Likewise, BGEN ANDREW D COSTELO PA, Commander, 703rd Infantry (AGILA) Brigade, 7ID, PA commended the performance of SINAGTALA troopers through their CSP for such accomplishments.

“I encourage the remnants of KLG Sierra Madre to lay down their arms, be with their families, and avail the different services of the government specifically Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP),” COSTELO said.
