MAWAB, DAVAO DE ORO – Another arms cache of the Weakened Guerilla Front 18 was recovered by the combined forces of the 10th Infantry “Agila” Division and the Philippine National Police following the tip of former leaders of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) on August 17, 2022 in Davao Oriental.

The 701st Infantry “Kagitingan” Brigade together with 66th Infantry Battalion (IB), 48IB, Philippine National Police, and other intelligence units recovered two (2) M16A1 rifles, one (1) attached M203 grenade launcher, and one (1) M14 rifle in the hinterlands of Purok Mancludo, Brgy San Isidro, Lupon, Davao Oriental.

The two former leaders of the CTG who tipped the location of the cache are “Ka Baytol”, a former Executive Committee member of the Sub-Regional Committee 2, and “Ka Radz”, a former Team Leader Abe of the Weakened Guerilla Front 18.

In an interview, 10th Infantry “Agila” Division Commander MGen Nolasco A Mempin is optimistic that the two (2) remaining weakened guerilla fronts – WGF 18 and WGF 57- in the 10ID area of responsibility will soon be dismantled.

“Itong WGF 18 na nasa area ng Davao Oriental, it’s a matter of time (referring to its dismantling), and we know how supportive ang governor ng Davao Oriental sa campaign natin against NPA terrorists,” MGen Mempin added.
