The Philippine Army’s 12th Infantry Battalion (12IB) overran a New People’s Army (NPA) hideout in Barangay Cabatangan, Lambunao over the weekend.
According to Army Brigadier General Marion Sison, 301st Brigade commander, residents informed them of the presence of members of the NPA Baloy Platoon, Central Front (CF), Komiteng Rehiyon-Panay (KR-P).
The rebels, however, already left when government troops arrived.
Recovered from the lair were a 7.62 AK47 rifle, an anti-vehicle mine, generator set, one Canon digital camera, three rifle magazines, seven cellular phones, subversive documents with high intelligence value, personal belongings and assorted automotive materials.
Sison thanked the residents for their cooperation and called on the remaining rebels to lay down their arms.
“Residents are willing and brave to support us and the barangay task force to end local communist armed conflict,” Sison said.
“Let us end 53 years of hopeless armed struggle and embrace the true meaning of peace. The government is always ready to help,” he added.
