CAMP GEN. VICENTE LIM, Calamba City -- Police and military troops busted on Wednesday a training site for new recruits of the Communist Party of the Philippines - New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) terrorist group in Barangay Canaway, General Nakar town in Quezon province.
Prior to the discovery of the training ground, government troops clashed with some 30 rebels belonging to Platoon 4A2, Sub-Region Military Area (SRMA) 4-A led by Jordan Mopon alias “Boyong.”
Joint forces of the Regional Mobile Force Battalion (RMFB) 4-A (Calabarzon) and the Army's 80th Brigade led the troops in crushing the site and wounding rebel forces who fled the area.
The government troops also discovered the newly-constructed structures in the area and believe the rebels just began their training for their new recruits last April.
They also recovered five sacks of rice, containers of rice, anti-personnel mine (APM) components, 10 blasting caps, six 1.5-volt batteries, a 9-volt battery, three pounds of powder believed to be ammonium nitrate, a bandolier with four 5.56 long magazines and three 5.56 short magazines; 120 rounds for 7.62-mm ammos, 90 rounds of ammos for 5.56, a Baofeng radio, a 15-foot radio cable wire, two radio chargers, and subversive documents.
Lt. Col. Christopher Diaz, commander of the 80th Brigade, ordered government troops to conduct their joint AFP-PNP checkpoints along the Maligaya to San Marcelino access road in General Nakar.
The Philippine Navy is also conducting its naval blockade and blocking operations at possible exit points of the fleeing terrorist rebels.
Both police and military forces are hunting down the rebels by tracking their escape routes or exit points and are also searching for other possible lairs.
“We are continuing our efforts together with our friendly forces from the AFP to address the issues of insurgency and internal security in our area,” Police Regional Office 4-A Director, Brig. Gen. Edward E. Carranza, said.
Carranza also assured intensified operations, as well as in reaching those remaining members of the communist terrorist group, convincing them to surrender to authorities and avail of the government's Enhanced Comprehensive Livelihood Integration Program (E-CLIP).
