It narrates the relentless efforts of the Command that led to the declaration of the Davao Region as insurgency-free and the successful conduct of intensified military operations, which resulted in decisive accomplishments.

DAVAO CITY — The triumph of the Eastern Mindanao Command in defeating the communist New People’s Army can now be seen in a documentary film dubbed as “BUKHAD KALINAW: Ang mga Tagumpay ng Eastern Mindanao Command.”

In a statement, LtGen. Greg Almerol, commander of EastMinCom, said the I-Docu of John Paul Seniel shed light on the invaluable contributions of the EastMinCom in attaining peace and security within its joint operational area comprising regions 11, 13 and parts of Regions 10 and 12.

“It narrates the relentless efforts of the Command that led to the declaration of the Davao Region as insurgency-free and the successful conduct of intensified military operations, which resulted in decisive accomplishments,” Almerol added.

Part of their feat was the total dismantling of five Sub-Regional Committees, 15 Guerilla Fronts, six Vertical Formations, and two Independent Platoons of the NPA’s Komiteng Mindanao, including the reduction of its components by capturing 1,158 high-powered and 223 low-powered firearms, neutralizing 1,382 NPA regulars with 135 killed, 176 captured, and 862 surrendered, as well as 209 Milisyang Bayan from March 2021 to date.

“The film is a testament to the effectiveness and efficiency of our strategies, the resilience of our troops, and the support of our communities. We will take a journey into the heart of our campaign against insurgency, showcasing the milestones we have achieved, the lives we have transformed and the hope we have restored,” Almerol added.
