TARLAC CITY, Feb. 3 (PIA) -- Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff General Gilbert Gapay commended Tuesday the initiatives of Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) to dismantle communist terrorist groups in Northern and Central Luzon.During his visit at NOLCOM Headquarters, Gapay awarded battle campaign streamers to Joint Task Force Kaugnay and Joint Task Group Defenders for dismantling Komiteng Larangang Gerilya South Ilocos Sur; and Joint Task Force Tala and Joint Task Group Liberator for dismantling Komiteng Larangang Gerilya Quirino-Nueva Vizcaya.
“The battle streamers are manifestations of NOLCOM’s outstanding performance as far as internal security operation is concerned,” the general said.
In terms of territorial defense efforts, Gapay underscored the established facilities in Mavulis Island and the 11 sovereign markers built by NOLCOM in the chain of uninhabited islands which assert the country’s sovereignty in the northern maritime territory.
