“Our troops from the 50th Infantry Battalion led by Lt. Col.

“The cooperation of the peace-loving locals in the area helped our security forces reach and successfully apprehend the lawless element,” Lt. Gen Torres added.
In a statement from Joint Task Group Peace & Justice Commander Brig. Gen. Santiago Enginco further revealed that the apprehended personality has been on the government’s watchlist at number 12 in their periodic status report (PSR) as a member of the communist terror group unit Squad Dos, Kilusang Larangang Gerilya (KLG) Baggas of the Ilocos-Cordillera Regional Party Committee (ICRC).”
The apprehended personality is now under the custody of Pinukpuk, Kalinga Municipal Police Station for proper disposition and documentation.
