MAKILALA, Cotabato (DWDD) – Another four high powered firearms, assorted medical paraphernalia and a communist flag were discovered by troops of 39th Infantry Battalion at Sitio Sarimoro, Barangay Coronon, Sta Cruz, Davao del Sur on October 22, 2018. A combat patrol of the Battalion resulted to the discovery of another arms cache.
Concerned citizens again provided information to the troops that led to the discovery of the cache at the creek line in Sitio Sarimoro.
The successive discoveries of arms caches indicated that the Communist/Terrorist NPA’s firepower and strength is decreasing. These clearly show that the total 12 firearms were cached for they do not have enough terrorist fighters to bear them.
Lieutenant Colonel Rhojun P Rosales, Commander of 39th Infantry Battalion, expressed again his admiration on the patriotism of these concerned citizens. He encourages all citizens to do their part in securing peace and sustainable development particularly in the provinces of Cotabato, Davao Del Sur and Sultan Kudarat.
Meanwhile, Brigadier General Roberto T Ancan, 1002nd Infantry Brigade Commander expressed his thanks and appreciation to concerned citizens who continually provided information to the government troops and said, “We are one in our quest for peace and development in Davao del Sur. Rest assured of our unwavering commitment to protect its people, ensure peace and stability in the province to create an enabling environment within which political and economic development could be pursued.”
Likewise, Major General Noel S Clement, Commander 10ID commended the troops and under his command and encouraged the people to work hand-in-hand with 10ID to attain long and lasting peace. “NPAs also have families to care about, so I urged them to surrender and live peacefully with their love ones-specially that Christmas is coming,” MGen Clement said.
The discovery of NPA firearms is an indication of their desperate and lost armed struggle. 10DPAO / MCAG
