‘Don’t give rebels the chance to strike’

From Panay News (Jan 26, 2022): ‘Don’t give rebels the chance to strike’ (By Ruby P. Silubrico)

“Huwag bigyan ng pagkakataon na maka-score ang kaaway. Dapat extra careful at laging handa.”

This is Region 6 police director Police Brigadier General Flynn Dongbo’s order to policemen.

The kaaway (enemy) refers to the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels.

Dongbo has been going around Western Visayas inspecting various police units’ readiness to possible rebel offensives.

“I told my men to carry their firearms all the time. Dapat naka-buddy-buddy system sila,” according to the police director.


The buddy system is a procedure in which two individuals, the “buddies”, operate together as a single unit so that they are able to monitor and help each other.

Dongbo also reminded his men to not to wear uniform when going home to avoid becoming easy targets of rebels.

Last year, the Philippine National Police headquarters sent high-powered firearms and bullet proof vests to the PRO-6.

For his part, Major General Benedict Arevalo of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) ordered his soldiers detailed in mountainous areas to monitor the movements of rebels, especially their extortion activities.

“We are very serious in running after these terrorists so they will not be able to do terroristic activities against the people and our troops. We want to ensure that the coming elections are free from their interference,” Arevalo said.
