Major General Benedict Arevalo, commander of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, repeats his warning to the rebels: “You better choose the best option, which is to surrender and avail yourselves of the government’s reintegration program. Live a normal life with your families.”
The Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) took down 34 New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in Panay and Negros islands in over three months.
Eight were killed in 13 encounters, 11 were arrested and 15 voluntarily surrendered.
Of these 34 rebels, six were suspected top leaders of the NPA.
Among the notable feats of the Army were the deaths of two still unidentified rebels in separate encounters in Sitio San Juan, Barangay Caradio-an, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental and in Barangay Enrique Villanueva, Sibulan, Negros Oriental just this April 14.
Also, couple Elbert Nicolas Quillano, suspected finance officer of the NPA’s SDG Platoon, and Jessa Luiso Quillano alias Clean, suspected medical officer of the same NPA unit, killed in an encounter with government troops in Sitio Kulihaw, Barangay Buenavista, Himamaylan City on April 1.
The 3ID also cited the death of suspected high-ranking NPA leader Virgilio Marco Tamban, commanding officer of SYP Platoon Lenovo. He was killed in an encounter in Barangay Amin, Isabela, Negros Occidental on March 9.
The 3ID commander, Major General Benedict Arevalo, thanked the local populace for their cooperation. He also commended various government agencies and local government units.
“I would also like to commend the dedication and courage of our troops in winning the fight against the terrorists and pursuing the fervent desire of the people for genuine peace and development,” Arevalo said.
He then repeated his warning to the rebels: “You better choose the best option, which is to surrender and avail yourselves of the government’s reintegration program. Live a normal life with your families.”
