Lt. Col. Ricky L Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB commended the troops for the successful operation and recognized the effort of the former rebel that leads to the discovery of arms cache.
“This proves that the Former Rebels are disappointed and tired of the NPA atrocities. Likewise, this indicates that they shifted their support from the CNTs to the government. Now, they want to return and live with their families in peaceful and harmonious community,” Lt. Col. Canatoy said.
The recovered firearms were brought to the Battalion Headquarters in Sitio Migbanday, Brgy Poblacion, Claveria, Misamis Oriental for proper disposition.
