Posted to Kalinaw News (Nov 27, 2022): Army and PNP Ops Seize CTG’s War Materials in Sorsogon
Camp Elias Angeles, San Jose, Pili, Camarines Sur – Based on a report from an enraged individual, the Army and PNP in Sorsogon seized another Communist Terrorist Group’s (CTG) war materials in Barangay Hidhid, Matnog, Sorsogon, at around 8:45 in the morning on Saturday, November 26.
The newly installed Commanding Officer of 22nd Infantry Battalion, (22IB)Lt. Col. Allan Mangaser, said that the troops received an information from an irate local regarding the hideout of the CTG. As the government forces responded, they unearthed another CTG’s arms cache that includes two caliber 38, nine improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and more or less 250 rounds of assorted ammunition.
BGen. Aldwine Almase, Commander of 903rd Infantry Brigade, once again applauded the positive collaboration of government troops and the Sorsoganons.
” Sa mga Sorosoganons, huwag na po natin bigyan ng pagkakataon na makapag hasik pa ng terorismo ang mga CTG sa ating probinsya. Kaakibat nyo po kami sa adhikain na masupil na ang mga armado upang maging tuloy-tuloy na ang kapayapaan dito sa Sorsogon at upang mas lalo pa po itong umunlad,” BGen. Almase said.
Meanwhile, Major General Alex Luna, Commander of 9th Infantry (SPEAR) Division and Joint Task Force Bicolandia (JTFB), described the said operation as an additional winning factor of the government troops against the continuous dwindling capabilities of the CTG in the region.
“Dagdag na naman ito sa ating panalo sa kampanya natin laban sa insurhensiya dito sa Bicol. Dahil ang pagkakadiskobre ng nasabing mga armas ay tiyak na mas lalong mapipilayan ang CTG at maging sanhi ng tuluyan nilang pagkawala. Ngunit ang JTF Bicolandia sa kabila ng aming agresibong kampanya upang supilin na ang mga armadong terorista, ay hindi pa din nagsasawang paalalahanan ang mga natitira pang kasapi nito (CTG), na sumuko na lamang at bumalik sa kani-kanilang pamilya lalo pa’t paparating na ang pasko,” MGen. Luna said.
Last November 08, in the same province, arms cache was also discovered which resulted in the seizure of several CTG important materials and the simultaneous surrender of its member in Barangay Barbara, Bulusan.
