AFP, PNP troops clash with NPA in MisOcc
IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay Province - The elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police troops clash with the communist terrorist group (CTG) in Jimenez, Misamis Occidental, today.
Following the launching of intensified military operations of the 102nd Infantry Brigade in Misamis Occidental against the remaining Guerilla Front Sendong (GF-Sendong) of the Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee (WMRPC), the combined troops of the 10th Infantry Battalion (10IB) and Misamis Occidental Provincial Police Office encountered the CTG at the boundary of Barangay Matugas Alto and Mialem at 8 a.m.
The 5-minute firefight incurred no casualties on the government side.
"We are now on our final leg in defeating the WMRPC by going against the members of the weakened GF-Sendong," said Lt. Col. Angestal Angeles II, Commanding Officer, 10IB.
It can be recalled that the 102Bde has just recently repositioned troops to augment and help the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict of Misamis Occidental in ending the atrocities of the CTGs in the province.
Meanwhile, 102Bde Commander, Brig. Gen. Leonel Nicolas, stressed the government's call for the leadership and members of the WMRPC to reconsider the peaceful surrender to the Army.
"The Brigade has always been firm and sincere in our call for you to lay down your arms and return to the folds of the law. In this way, the government will be able to help you rebuild your lives together with your family," the general said.
"However, for as long as you continue to sow fear and terror to the peace-loving people of Misamis Occidental, we will be left with no choice but to use the full force of the law to end this futile armed struggle," he added.
Brig. Gen. Nicolas also reminded the community to be vigilant and report any presence of these communist NPA terrorists in their villages.
