Posted to Kalinaw News (Feb 27, 2022): Army’s 7ID welcomes 150 members of Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luzon’s withdrawal of support to CTG in Bataan



FORT MAGSAYSAY, Nueva Ecija — The Commander of the 7th Infantry (KAUGNAY) Division, Philippine Army, Major General Andrew D. Costelo PA, warmly welcomed the decision of the 150 members of Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luzon (AMGL) in abandoning their support to the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) during a simple ceremony held at Multi Purpose Hall of Barangay Imelda, Samal, Bataan on February 25, 2022.

MGen Costelo attributed the success of the activity with the intensive implementation of the programs under Executive Order No. 70 wherein the local task force along with the security sector work hand-in-hand to conduct an information awareness drive on the lies and dangers brought by the terrorist organization.

“We are glad that these 150 AMGL members were able to open their eyes with the reality that they’ve been exploited by the CTG to advance their propaganda against the government. They are mere examples of being victims of deceptive schemes of the enemy. That is why the government is doing its best in its information awareness campaign to save these innocent people,” said MGen Costelo.

Also, MGen Costelo reiterates that this mass withdrawal of support of the AMGL members has a huge impact on the White Area operations of the enemy in Central Luzon.

Meanwhile, LTC Eugene F. Garce, Commanding Officer of 70th Infantry (MATAPAT AT MATATAG) Battalion, Philippine Army along with Bataan Provincial Police Office headed by Provincial Director PCol Romell A. Velasco, facilitated the activity.

LTC Julito B. Recto Jr. 703rd Brigade, Executive Officer attended the event and represented the Commander of 703rd Brigade, Colonel Joseph Norwin D. Pasamonte.

“Maraming salamat dahil kayo ay bumalik na sa gobyerno, at namulat na ang inyong mga mata sa maling ginagawa ng teroristang grupo. Ngayong araw na to tinutuldukan niyo na ang pag suporta at panlilinlang sa inyo ng NPA, dahil kayo ay nagbalik suporta sa gobyerno,” said LTC Recto Jr.

The activity highlighted with the signing of pledge followed by oath of Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luzon (AMGL) members.
