SURIGAO del SUR- Joint elements of the 3rd Special Forces Battalion (3SFBN) and the 1st Police Mobile Force Company (PMFC) of Surigao del Sur Provincial Police Office, apprehended a certain Sarvina Rivas Quijano alias Soping at a checkpoint while onboard a multi-cab with plate number YCZ 583 driven by Jovencito P Lozada.
Troops manning the checkpoint had noticed in plain view protruding rifle grenades in the multicab which prompted them to search the vehicle. Thorough search on the vehicle led to the discovery of two (2) improvised explosive devices (IEDs), blasting cap with detonating cord, three (3) rifle grenades, 5 analog cellular phones, one laptop computer, subversive documents, numerous SIM cards, external drive and a memory card allegedly owned by the suspect.
The suspect was later identified by a Former Rebel (FR) as the Finance Staff of the Communist Terrorist Group’s (CTG) Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC). She is the party wife of Marcelino Tampos Navarro alias Marsing, the NEMRC’s Deputy Secretary and Head of Education and Propaganda who was killed in an encounter with government forces at Sitio Panukmoan, Diatagon, Lianga on July 7 this year.
Quijano’s arrest was a big boost in the Army’s campaign to disrupt the CTG’s fund generation scheme which is key to end local communist armed conflict in the region.
Major General Andres C. Centino, the Commander of Joint Task Force Diamond and of the 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division, Philippine Army, in his previous statements, urged the business sector in Northern Mindanao and Caraga Regions to help end insurgency by not giving in to the NPA Terrorists’ extortion demands.
“We realized somehow, that insurgency problem can hardly be solved unless we put a stop on the CTG’s extortion activities. If we do this coupled with our relentless military operations, hopefully the insurgency will significantly weaken to a negligible level before the President’s term ends” he said.
Meanwhile, Quijano is now in the custody of 1st PFMC for documentation and filing of appropriate criminal charges.
