The Capiz-based 3rd Infantry Division said on Thursday that
its units neutralized 30 New People's Army (NPA) rebels during the first
semester of this year.
Of this number, four were arrested through joint
military-police law enforcement operations, while 26 others surrendered to 3rd
Infantry Division units.
Major Ray Tiongson, 3rd Infantry Division spokesperson, said
they also recovered 20 firearms and 16 explosive materials and captured 19 NPA
camps during the same period.
Major Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero, 3rd Infantry Division
commander, said the successful operations against the rebels were attributable
to the complementary and concerted efforts of the military, police and other
stakeholders through “Dagyaw Para sa Kalinong” (Working Together for Peace).
The campaign also paved the way for the declaration of all
the provinces in their area of operations as "Peaceful and Ready for
Further Development."
