DWDD: CLEARED | Insurgency-Free Pangasinan underway

From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Oct 2): CLEARED  |  Insurgency-Free Pangasinan underway

   

CAMP GEN SERVILLANO AQUINO, Tarlac City (DWDD) – Officers of the 7th Infantry (Kaugnay) Division, Philippine Army and the provincial government officials of Pangasinan convened at the Provincial Capitol in Lingayen today, for the evaluation of the province as “insurgency-free.”

Last June 13, 2018, a Joint Recommendation between the 702nd Infantry Brigade, 7ID, PA and the Pangasinan Police Provincial Office was signed, endorsing Pangasinan to be declared as “Insurgency Free”.

A requirement prior to the declaration of Pangasinan as “insurgency free” is a pronouncement of the Area Clearing Evaluation Board (ACEB) that the province is “cleared” of local terrorist groups (LTGs) and the Communist NPA terrorists (CNTs).

Main agenda of the ACEB meeting today is to evaluate the area clearing conducted by the Area Clearing Evaluation Team (ACET) based on given parameters that qualifies an area to be “insurgency free”.

Leading the 7ID group during the meeting is Brigadier General Lenard T. Agustin, while representing the province of Pangasinan is the ACEB Chair and Pangasinan Governor Amado I. Espino III.

It is hoped that before the year ends, Pangasinan will finally be declared as “Insurgency Free.” NOLCOM PIO / MCAG
