Posted to Kalinaw News (Jan 18, 2021): Army’s 2nd Infantry Division Dismantles Three NPA Guerilla Fronts in Southern Tagalog
CAMP CAPINPIN, Tanay, Rizal – The Southern Tagalog NPAs lost another three Guerilla Fronts as the government’s campaign to end local armed conflict intensifies.
Guerilla Fronts are local NPA organizations responsible for extortion, murder of government officials including AFP and PNP members, harassment of businesses and destruction of flagship projects.
The dismantling of these fronts have effectively put an end to the NPA’s terroristic activities in most parts of CALABARZON.
Gen Gilbert Gapay, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines on Friday, conferred the battle streamer awards to various military units in the successful dismantling of 13 NPA fronts across the country while urging military commanders to simultaneously address and defeat all remaining weakened communist guerrilla groups by 2021.
The military is optimistic that with the intensification of the current campaigns, the few remaining NPAs will surrender and more people will be aware that there is nothing to gain in joining terrorism but grief and suffering.
For his part, MGen Greg T Almerol, Commander of 2ID, expressed his gratitude and praised the soldiers for their dedication to their sworn oath.
“These achievements were made possible by the relentless efforts and commitment of our soldiers and the unity of all levels of government through the different Task Forces to End Local Armed Conflict in pursuit of the much-coveted peace for our country.”
The Army’s 2nd Infantry Division is committed to its mandate and assures the people that these achievements are proof of the soldiers’ devotion toward a secure and peaceful future for every Filipino.
