Engagement, Bayanihan Team Activity, and Legal Operation.

undertaken by PNP and Army personnel. The CIC is the latest collaboration
between the PNP and the Army in Eastern Visayas
to enhance inter-operability in conducting joint operations. Earlier, joint

Division, PRO8; PSSupt Elizar Egloso, Chief of Police Regional Community

Commenting on the Command’s operational successes as well as
lapses, Velarmino said that we must review the time tested combat special
operating procedures (SOPs) and the tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs)
down to the squad level, so that when employed, soldiers will always be on
advantage over adversaries. He also stressed the importance of the conduct of
combat rehearsals and drills to ensure success of combat operations.
In addition, he reiterated the importance of sustaining the
operational tempo and aggressiveness in meeting the set target goals and
timelines in declaring the remaining provinces in our AOR as Insurgency-Free
areas.
Further, he said that whatever challenges ahead, the Command
must continue to march towards winning the peace until all the stakeholders
have joined our cause to achieve peace, progress and prosperity in the region.
