ROXAS CITY, Capiz -- More residents have been supporting government’s efforts towards attaining genuine peace and progress.
In the recent oath taking of allegiance to the government by 49 mass base supporters of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army Terrorist (CNT) at Sitio Tigpaka Daku, barangay San Antonio, Cuartero, Capiz, Army’s 61st Infantry (Hunter) Battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Sisenando Magbalot Sr. said the government is working hard to have peace and progress in the countryside.
“Magbalot said that aside from reaffirmation of their commitment to the government, the oath of allegiance also indicates their desertion to the communist terrorist group,” Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division Public Affairs Office head Capt. Eduardo Precioso Jr. noted.
He added that “the series of oath of allegiance in Panay is a result of concerted efforts of our Community Support Program (CSP) teams, local government units, other law enforcement agencies and various sectors working together towards attaining genuine peace and progress in the island as stressed by Magbalot.”
Previously, 60 mass base supporters also from Cuartero town took their oath of allegiance to the government after deciding to renounce and withdraw their support from the CPP-NPA Terrorist last February, Precioso said.
He added that the recent oath taking of allegiance to the government, March 13, was witnessed by Cuartero Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer who represented mayor Tito Mayo, Police Capiz Mobile Force Battalion Chief Police Lt. Col. Robert Petate and Cuartero Police Station Chief of Police Captain Mary Grace Burio.
For his part, 3ID Commander MGen Dinoh Dolina stressed that “their supporters have now finally come into a realization that the CPP-NPA Terrorist is just using them for their selfish and bloody interests. And, we are still calling on the remaining supporters to do the same to totally make the communist terrorist group irrelevant,” Precioso noted.
