From Kalinaw News (Mar 3, 2023): Unidentified CTG Member killed in an Encounter
In the vicinity of Sitio Lantong, Brgy Sangay, Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat last February 26, 2023, the combat soldiers of 37IB came across around 10 CTG militants who were said to be under the command of Joseph Longan alias Michael, Commander of Platoon Beijing, SRC Daguma, FSMR. A CTG member who was not identified was killed in the 30-minute gunfight, and war materiel, including three (3) high-powered weapons—two (2) M14 rifles and one (1) 5.56mm Bushmaster rifle—as well as three bags and other items were also taken.
The government side has not reported any casualties, either. The military is continuing cleaning up the area in question while also looking for the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) members who have escaped.
The 37IB’s commanding officer, LTC John Paul Baldomar INF (GSC) PA, stated that the troops will step up their combat efforts to put additional pressure on the adversaries.
BGEN MICHAEL A SANTOS PA, Brigade Commander, praised the 37IB soldiers for their success. In addition, he exhorted the remaining CTG members to put a stop to their violent resistance and quietly rejoin society.
“I continue to believe that the battle for peace won’t include any more bloodshed. To live and experience a normal life, I implore the CTG’s surviving members to renounce “- BGEN MICHAEL A. SANTOS PA
