On January 22, they recovered three improvised hand grenades, 179 rounds-ctg, 5.56 mm ball, 40 mm HE, a rifle grenade, an improvised claymore mine, nine M16 short magazines, six blasting caps, a radio antenna, a roll wire, chest rig, a magazine pouch, two battery clips, and a dummy load.
Brigadier General Jimmy Larida, commander of the 3MBde, said the information about their locations and other details came from former rebels and sympathizers.
“These informants realized that they were victimized by the lies and deceptions of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) that has ruined their lives and families. That’s why they are very eager to pinpoint the location of hidden war materials and revealing vital information about the CTG and other personalities supporting the Communist NPA terrorist,” he added.
Previously, AFP chief of staff General Andres Centino ordered Larida to capture Sonny Rogelio, alias Ka Miggy, the last known NPA leader in Palawan, in five months.
“For the one person remaining, I think five months is enough,” Centino said.
