Two successive harassment operations were launched by units under the South-Central Bukidnon Subregional Command (SCBSC) against the 1st Special Forces Battalion and CAA in July.
On July 8, at around 12 midnight, a unit under the SCBSC harassed the 1st SF Battalion-CAA detachment in Sitio Binungkasan, Barangay Canangaan, Cabanglasan, Bukidnon, wounding a fascist trooper. On the other hand, the comrades were able to make a quick and organized withdrawal without suffering any casualties.
Only minutes earlier, a team of Red fighters used command-detonated explosives on a detachment of reactionary soldiers in Sitio Malilong, Barangay Zamboangita, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon on July 7 at around 11:45 p.m. The explosive’s massive impact prevented the soldiers from returning fire at once and made it difficult for them to use their weapons. The comrades safely withdrew after the harassment operation. Because it was pitch dark, it was not known how many casualties were incurred by the AFP.
Amid the SCBSC’s widespread and intense guerrilla actions, the reactionary soldiers have been resorting to mounting fake surrenders of civilians in a feeble attempt to show that they are reaping “victories” under Oplan Bayanihan.
Three fake surrender ceremonies have already been held in Cabanglasan and San Fernando this year. The latest was held last July 9 at the 403rd Brigade headquarters in Malaybalay City where 53 civilians were sworn in. In fact, the “balik-baril program” where each person who turns in a firearm is paid ₱5,000 is nothing but a milch cow for officer-thieves. Only a small amount is given to the fake surrenderees, with the bulk of the money stolen by military officers.
