BUTUAN CITY – At least 160 police officers have completed their two-month Basic Internal Security Operations Course (BISOC) to boost the anti-insurgency and anti-terror campaigns in the Caraga Region, an official said Tuesday.

In a statement, PRO-13 director Brig. Gen. Pablo Labra II said the newly trained cops graduated at their Regional Special Training Facility in Santiago town, Agusan del Norte, on Monday.

The BISOC is a 60-day specialized training course that hones the personal effectiveness and capability of police personnel in handling internal security operations.

“Our anti-insurgency drive during the first quarter of 2023 netted 256 communist rebels,” he said.


He said at least 63 New People’s Army (NPA) rebels were arrested while 193 others surrendered to the various PRO-13 field units from January to March this year.

Among the police personnel who excelled during the training were Patrolwoman Cherry Grace Gonzaga, who received both the excellence award for topping the class and the pistol marksmanship in the female category. Patrolman Richard Chavit, meanwhile, received the award of pistol marksmanship in the male category.

Two other police officers, Pat. Ralph Lauren Rocero and Pat. Richelle Dayagan, were also recognized for achieving the highest ratings in physical fitness in the male and female categories.
