Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 12, 2021): 10ID on heightened alert for CPP-NPA Anniversary in Southern Mindanao
MAWAB, DAVAO DE ORO – The 10th Infantry “Agila” Division prepares its troops this yuletide season as it raises its alert level for the 53rd Communist Party of the Philippines anniversary celebration on December 26, 2021, urging people to exercise the culture of security.
Agila Division Commander MGen Ernesto C Torres Jr said that despite the heightened alert this yuletide season, troops in 10ID remain prepared all year long for any possible atrocities by the communist terrorist group.
Likewise, MGen Torres urges the people to exercise the culture of security and to remain vigilant at all times to help the army and the police prevent untoward incidents perpetrated by the CPP-NPA terrorist this yuletide season.
The general public is urged to cooperate with the troops and to report suspicious activities and individuals within their vicinity.
On the other hand, 10ID has recorded a dwindling number of CTG members in its area of responsibility following the series of surrenders in the last quarter of 2021 with only five guerilla fronts remaining wherein two are set for dismantling.
At present, the Division reports generally a peaceful area of responsibility despite the recent encounter of the troops under 701st Infantry Brigade at Sitio Kidaraan, Brgy Mascareg,
Mabini, Davao de Oro last December 10, 2021 which lasted for 10-minutes against Southern Mindanao Regional Committee members.
The troops inflicted no casualties on the terrorist side. However, they recovered several items that include: nine (9) long magazines, six (6) cellular phones, two (2) internal hard drives, one (1) handheld radio, one (1) binocular, food supplies, hammock, poncho, sim cards, flash drive, medical kits, and subversive documents.
The recovered supplies from the encounter site are estimated to sustain thirty (30) people according to reports.
Moreover, the Division is ready to assist surrendering rebels this yuletide season with government aid from the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), and other programs by the national and local government units.
“I urge all our peace-loving countrymen that with your cooperation we can achieve a peaceful Christmas celebration together with our loved ones. Let the peace within us thrive and multiply a hundred-fold that will resonate to the hearts of our remaining brothers and sisters who are still trapped in the CTG to join us in our quest for lasting peace.” MGen Torres said.
