From Kalinaw News (Dec 1, 2022): Government troops unearth NPA arms cache in Quezon (By Jonathan Blanco)
An arms cache belonging to the New People’s Army was recovered by the government troops in General Nakar, Quezon on Thursday, November 24, 2022.
Soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Division and 7th Infantry Division were acting on information from former rebels regarding an arms cache hidden by NPA members at Sitio Uyungan in Barangay Umiray when they unearthed the buried war materiel. Among the items recovered were one M16 rifle, a short magazine and 17 rounds of 5.56mm live ammunition.
It can be recalled that on November 11, 2022, two members of KLG Narciso’s Platun 2 from the Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee’s Sub-Regional Military Area 4A surrendered to the joint forces of 2ID and 7ID at Barangay Tagumpay in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija. The pair are residents of Sitio Pinamaypayan, Barangay Umiray in Dingalan, Aurora and were among those who helped locate the arms cache.
“The cooperation of former rebels has led to significant gains crucial to the government’s effort to end insurgency. This feat contributes to our efforts of securing our communities from the atrocities of the NPA in Southern Tagalog. With this, we urge those still in arms to surrender and return to the folds of the law so we can ensure a safe and peaceful Christmas season for everyone,” 2ID Commander Maj. Gen.0 Roberto S. Capulong said in a statement.
