The military has briefed the local government officials of Compostela Valley led by Gov. Jayvee Tyron L. Uy of the peace and order situation in the province, including its campaign against the communist New People’s Army (NPA).
Kaibigan Troopers led by Lt. Col. Esteveyn E. Ducusin welcomed the local officials at the headquarters of the 71st Infantry Battalion (IB) in Purok 8, Brgy. Nueva Vizcaya, Mawab, Compostela Valley Friday, June 15.
Aside from Uy, who is also the chairman of the Regional Peace and Order Council Region XI, also present were Compostela Valley 2nd District Rep. Ruwel Peter S. Gonzaga, and Mawab Mayor Ruperto S. Gonzaga III.
During the visit, Ducusin presented nine high-powered firearms, four pieces of improvised explosive device and other paraphernalia recovered by the 71st IB from a recent encounter with the NPA rebels in Maco on June 9 and 12.
He also toured the local officials at the temporary shelter for the former rebels located at the battalion headquarters.
“It symbolizes convergence of efforts between government leaders and the Army to collaborate and work together in addressing the issues and concerns of the people primarily those who were easily exploited by the CNTs (Communist NPA Terrorists),” he said.
“It makes the people realize that the government is sincere in performing their responsibilities and duties to the community,” he added.
Ducusin said Uy and the other officials vowed to support the rehabilitation and repair of additional transient facilities for the former rebels.
