THE Army's 53rd Infantry "Matapat" Battalion (IB), in partnership with the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Sur, inaugurated the circumferential road at Camp Major David Sabido, home of the 53IB in the town of Guipos.

The circumferential road, named after the later First Lieutenant Sahiron A. Gumampang, was inaugurated Friday, January 28, in a simple ceremony as part of its 53IB's 37th founding anniversary.

The 37th Founding Anniversary is anchored on the theme "Matapat @ 37: Victory in Time of Convergence."

Lieutenant Colonel Jo-ar Herrera, 53IB commander, said in a statement Monday, January 31, that the circumferential road was constructed last year and donated to the command by the Provincial Government headed by Governor Victor Yu.

Herrera expressed his gratitude to Yu for the continued partnership and convergence in bringing progress and development in Zamboanga del Sur.

"This circumferential road significantly contributed to the uplifting of our troops' morale and welfare. Let us continue this close partnership to sustain progress and development in the province of Zamboanga del Sur," he said.

The circumferential road was constructed in honor of Gumampang, who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the people of Sulu during the encounter against the Abu Sayyaf Group on September 4, 2005 in Karawan village, Indanan town.
