Army intel against NPA cited

From the Manila Bulletin (Nov 23): Army intel against NPA cited

For undercover military work against enemies of the state, soldiers from 24th Infantry Battalion  led by Captain Ramon C. Rayala, Jr. and 1Lt. Wilson H. Usman, Jr. were commended the other day for successful intelligence operations against remnants of  the New People’s Army (NPA) in the Tarlac-Zambales area.

The Philippine Army (PA) cited the operations waged by the 24th Infantry Battalion, under Lt. Col. Gilamr Galicia, for resulting in the seizure of two M-16 rifles; assorted military items; communication equipment; and subversive documents from the NPA in Barangay Pinagrealan, Candelaria, Zambales.

Lt. Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang, Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) commander, said: “Your remarkable achievements bespeaks well of your adherence to what is expected of a Soldier as specified in my Command guidance ‘Kawal ay Disiplinado, Bawal Abusado Dapat Asintado’ that resulted in ‘zero’ collateral damage and casualty on our troops and civilians in the community.”

Catapang said the success of intelligence operation last November 18was a manifestation of commander’s efforts in dedicating the support to our government to track, monitor, hunt down and engage the enemy.
