Posted to Kalinaw News (Mar 2, 2022): Talaingod Rejects CPP-NPA-NDF
MAWAB, DAVAO DE ORO – One of the most advanced Sub-Regional Committee of the New People’s Army in Southern Mindanao region now officially loses its entire mass bases as hundreds of its former underground mass organization (UGMO) members conducted the “Pagsalikway” or “Rejection” of the CPP-NPA-NDF during a ceremony held at the Balimba Hills Activity Center, Sitio JBL, Barangay Sto. Niño, Talaingod, Davao del Norte on Monday, February 28, 2022.
14 Communist NPA Terrorists (8 regulars and 6 MBs), four (4) Kilusang Rebolusyonaryo sa Munisipalidad (KRM), 168 Kilusang Rebolusyonaryo sa Barrio (KRB) members, two (2) former teachers, 13 students of the Salugpungan School, and seven (7) former Haran Bakwits declared “Pagsalikway” to the CPP-NPA-NDF.
The ceremony took place after the surrender of eight (8) Sub-Regional Guerrilla Unit (SRGU) remnants and two (2) NPA to the barrios, and recovery of ten (10) high-powered firearms.
With this, the 1003rd Infantry “Raptor” Brigade with its Operational Control (OPCON) units delivered the decisive finishing blow or “coup de grâce” to Communist Terrorist Group in its area of responsibility following the collapse of Sub-Regional Committee 5, Southern Mindanao Regional Committee last month.
It can be recalled that the Sub-Regional Committee 5 was the first to establish a Kilusang Rebolusyonaryo sa Munisipalidad (KRM) in the Philippines way back in 2004.
The military arm was previously composed of three (3) Guerilla Fronts (GFs) and one (1) Sub-Regional Guerilla Unit (SRGU) supported by three (3) Pulang Bagani Commands (PBC).
Also, SRC 5 was able to create recruitment schools such as Salupongan Ta Tanu Igkanugon Learning Center (STTILC) and Mindanao Interfaith Services Foundation, Inc. (MISFI). These schools were able to contribute to the national and international urban mass movement campaigns against the government.
However, on January 13, 2022, after the series of encounters in Talaingod and Kitao-tao, Bukidnon the SRC5 leadership with a total of 12 top personalities and 77 members neutralized with 51 firearms recovered, finally surrendered.
During the ceremony, Consolito P Yecla, Commander of 1003rd Infantry Brigade said, “You don’t have to worry, we will defend you and your ancestral domains. All we are asking is your cooperation and total rejection of the communist group.”
Meanwhile, Agila Division Commander MGen Nolasco A Mempin lauded the outstanding accomplishment of the 1003rd Brigade. He also expresses his gratitude to the former UGMO members who vowed to empower their communities and reject the ideology of the CPP-NPA-NDF and never again be exploited by the Communist Terrorist Group.
“I enjoin everyone to continuously support our effort in ending this five-decade-long insurgency. With the masses now awakened and enlightened by the truth, let us protect our children from being lured again into the evil plague of terrorism brought by the CPP-NPA-NDF.” MGen Mempin added.
