5th Civil Relations Group

Recent surrenderer reveals war materials handler

The recent surrender of a New People’s Army (NPA) Commander, Alias Ka “Jayto” of SRSDG MTJ Eagles progressed to the subsequent yielding of firearms at Sitio Larapan, Brgy Kiabo, Malitbog, Bukidnon yesterday May 22, around 1 a.m.
 
After series of custodial debriefings, the 16th Infantry (Maglilingkod) Battalion, under 402nd Infantry (Stingers) Brigade immediately carried out Intelligence Operations to locate a certain relative, Alias Ka “JunJun” who safe kept the weapons in the aforementioned community.
 
The following war materials were subsequently seized: One M16 A1 Rifle, one improvised grenade launcher, one UZI, and two magazines with ammunitions.
 
Finally returning to the mainstream, Jayto has been instrumental in the successful recovery of war materials, another clear manifestation of the effectiveness of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) that has been uplifting communities since its inception.
The 16IB is continuously conducting Focused Military Operations against the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) to attain genuine peace and development within its area of responsibility. However, to avoid further bloodshed, the unit is once again calling for the remaining members to return to the folds of law peacefully and to embrace government’s reintegration programs. With the recent surrender of this high profile personality, it should serve as an example to the other remaining red fighters in showcasing the sincerity of our government in providing them a new lease in life.

EASTMINCOM: 3 NPA Members Surrenders to 65IB

Posted to the Eastern Mindanao Command (EASTMINCOM) Facebook Page (Jun 1, 2022): 3 NPA Members Surrenders to 65IB



5th Civil Relations Group

3 NPA Members Surrenders to 65IB

Three members of the New People’s Army (NPA) voluntarily yielded to the troops of 65th Infantry (Stalwart) Battalion through its continuous focused and intensified military and intelligence operations in the month of May 2022.
 
The surrenderers were identified as alias “Tax” and “Toten/Rey”, squad members and “Jamil”, squad leader of NPA’s Guerilla Front (GF) 21, Southern Regional Committee (SRC) Westland of the North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC). Along with their surrender, a Cal. 38 revolver and Carbine Rifle were turned in. Alias “Jamil” also led the troops on the location of various supplies and IEDs of the CNTs.
 
Accordingly, they decided to leave the armed group because of their resentment against them in their false promises that only led to their hardships. The exhaustion and hunger they experienced is contrary to the bright future that were assured to them.

The continuous death of their members in different encounters and the recent voluntary surrender of their four other comrades further persuaded their decision to do the same and return to the fold of the government through 65IB.
 
In his statement, alias “Toten” said “Pagkadungog nako sa balita sa unsay kahimtang sa mga kauban namo nga nag surrender, didto napamatuoran nga dili tinood ang gipangstorya sa grupo nga angay kahadlokan ug dili katoohan ang mga sundalo. Akong na amgo nga walay padulngan ang akong dugay na nga pagtago ug paglaban sa atong gobyerno.”
 
Lieutenant Colonel Emerson P. De Vera, commanding officer of 65IB states that the unit is now facilitating their enrollment to the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) to start anew and lead their way to get back to their family and community.
 
This successive numbers of members who are now renouncing and turning their back against the movement greatly reflects the effectiveness of the government’s campaign to loosen the efforts of the enemies and eventually achieve sustainable peace and development.

Thus, 65IB is once again calling the remaining members to cooperate, peacefully surrender, and lay down their firearms. Various programs and benefits will be provided for them to gain back their normal lives and eventually unite with their families.

EASTMINCOM: EASTMINCOM'S Focused Military Operations Causes NPA Huge Setbacks

Posted to the Eastern Mindanao Command (EASTMINCOM) Facebook Page (Jun 1, 2022): EASTMINCOM'S Focused Military Operations Causes NPA Huge Setbacks


EASTMINCOM'S FOCUSED MILITARY OPERATIONS CAUSES NPA HUGE SETBACKS

Intensified focused military operations by troops of the Eastern Mindanao Command (EASTMINCOM) led to the neutralization of 452 Communist Terrorist Groups (CTG) members and seizure of high-powered firearms within five months.
 
Lieutenant General Greg T Almerol, the Commander of EASTMINCOM said that 35 CTGs were killed, 26 were arrested, 194 surrendered and 197 withdrew their support to the terrorist movement since January 2022.
 
He also said that 342 high-powered firearms were seized by the Command from the CTGs. Of which, 106 were obtained through surrenders and 236 through combat operations during the period.

The largest of these was the confiscation of two M16A1 rifles, two M4 Carbines rifles, an M653 rifle, an M14 rifle, four M16 magazines, and four bandoliers on May 20. The location of the arms cache in Kitaotao, Bukidnon was revealed by a CTG leader who yielded to the troops of 1002nd Brigade's 72nd Infantry Battalion (IB).
 
With EASTMINCOM’s neutralization of CTG members and clearing of areas formerly influenced by the terrorists, six guerrilla fronts and two Sub-Regional Guerilla Units (SRGUs) were dismantled this year.
 
According to Lieutenant General Almerol, EASTMINCOM’s accomplishments can be attributed to the collaborative efforts and cooperation of local leaders and former rebels.
 
"We commend the strong synergy of government security forces, the TF-ELCAC, and former rebels, which ushered the reduction of CTG forces and firepower. It exhibits that our whole-of-nation approach, through Executive Order 70, continues to reap fruits evident by our triumphs," he said.

He also lauded the troops for their tireless work and dedication to ending the local communist armed conflict before President Rodrigo Roa Duterte culminates his term.
 
"Rest assured that our efforts to curb the remnants of the CTG, coupled with the developments efforts of the Local Government Units, will continue to encourage more terrorist personalities to surrender, especially now that they are at the brink of total collapse," added Lieutenant General Almerol.

WESTMINCOM: 2 communist terrorists yield in Sultan Kudarat

Posted to the Western Mindanao Command (WESTMINCOM) Facebook Page (May 28, 2022): 2 communist terrorists yield in Sultan Kudarat

Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – May 29, 2022

Two members of the West Daguma Front surrendered to the Joint Task Force Central in Sultan Kudarat on May 26, 2022.

According to Col. Michael Santos, Commander of the 603rd Infantry Brigade, the two were identified as alias Tumalao/Patikan and alias Sultan, members of the Sub-Regional Committee Daguma (SRC Daguma), West Daguma Front, Far South Mindanao Region (FSMR). They surrendered to Lt. Col. John Paul Baldomar, Commanding Officer of the 37th Infantry Battalion at Sitio Lower Tinagdanan, Barangay Hinalaan, Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat.
 
Lt. Col. Baldomar revealed that the former rebels are respected Tribal Leaders of the Dulangan Manobo Tribe. “We were informed of the desire of the two to end their armed struggle. We then conducted a dialogue and an outreach program in their community together with the local government officials of Kalamansig. These activities enlightened the minds of the two tribal leaders and made them decide to surrender for the betterment of their tribe,” Lt. Col. Baldomar stated.
 
“The surrender of the most respected Tribal Leaders of the Dulangan Manobo Tribe in Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat is a clear manifestation that the local IPs already realized that they had been used and manipulated by the communist terrorists for their own interests that greatly affected the lives of the IPs. This event is an indication of the continuous downfall of the CTG influence in Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat and the eventual dismantling of the SRC DAGUMA, FSMR,” Brig. Gen. Eduardo Gubat, Acting Commander of the JTF Central said.
 
During the first five months of 2022, a total of 68 communist terrorists surrendered to the military in Central Mindanao.
 
Lt. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Jr., Commander of Western Mindanao Command attributed this feat to the continued conduct of the Community Support Programs of the military troops coupled with the unwavering support of the local government units and the peace-loving people in the communities.
 
“We are hopeful that with the continuous implementation of the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program of the government, we will be able to convince the remaining members of the terror groups to lay down their arms and return to the folds of the law,” Lt. Gen. Rosario, Jr. added.

The 5-minute firefight incurred no casualties on the government side.

"We are now on our final leg in defeating the WMRPC by going against the members of the weakened GF-Sendong," said Lt. Col. Angestal Angeles II, Commanding Officer, 10IB.

Meanwhile, 102Bde Commander, Brig. Gen. Leonel Nicolas, stressed the government's call for the leadership and members of the WMRPC to reconsider the peaceful surrender to the Army.

"The Brigade has always been firm and sincere in our call for you to lay down your arms and return to the folds of the law. In this way, the government will be able to help you rebuild your lives together with your family," the general said.

"However, for as long as you continue to sow fear and terror to the peace-loving people of Misamis Occidental, we will be left with no choice but to use the full force of the law to end this futile armed struggle," he added.

Brig. Gen. Nicolas also reminded the community to be vigilant and report any presence of these communist NPA terrorists in their villages.

PLGU Lanao del Norte, Security Forces Settle Disputes of 2 Warring Clans

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte – As part of its effort to sustain lasting peace and development, the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte led by Governor Imelda ‘Angging’ Quibranza Dimaporo, together with the Office of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Committee on Rido and Conflict Settlement Chaired by Honorable Board Member Acmad B. Taha, and uniform men of the Arm Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP), another family feud or Rido in the province was recently settled on May 26, 2022, at the Multi-Purpose Building Capitol Compound.
 
The Rido was between the family of Ansari “Sancaona” Ansar of Barangay Raraban, Municipality of Nunungan and the clan of Nasser Alilang Alando of Barangay Pindolonan, Picong, Lanao del Sur. The two families voluntarily agreed and substantially approved to amicably settle to put an end to their nine (9) years of conflict.
 
Seeing the two families reconciled, Governor Dimaporo expressed her genuine appreciation for the cooperation of each clan and also thanked the proactiveness of the people behind, who served as the bridge in mending the misunderstanding, including Mayor Marcos Mamay of Nunungan.
 
"This is a very timely and remarkable event not just for both families, but also for the entire Province, particularly for the Municipality of Nunungan which is slowly becoming famous for its excellence in eco-tourism.", Governor Dimaporo added.
 
Mayor Mamay, on the other hand, earnestly asked for the continuous support of every family in the municipality and said,“ no matter how competitive a leader is, without the support of his constituents there will still be no progress ”.
 
Along with Board Member Taha, the settlement was facilitated by ALeem Monib P. Mangilala, the President of Iligan City Imam’s League. Present also during the activity were Vice Governor Cristy Atay, Lieutenant Colonel Julius Librada of the 5th Mechanized “Kaagapay”Battalion, Deputy General Charmagne Batayola of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade, and Police Major Salman Saad, LDN- Provincial Community Affairs Development Unit Chief.

11,000 MILF, MNLF Members Take NAPOLCOM Qualifying Exam to Gain Entry Into the PNP

COTABATO CITY --- Around 11,000 members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) took the National Police Commission’s (NAPOLCOM) Special Qualifying Eligibility Examination (NSQEE) on Sunday, May 29.
 
The NSQEE was held in Cotabato City for applicants coming from the mainland provinces, and in Lamitan City in Basilan for those residing in the island-provinces of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
 
Passing the NSQEE confers one of the requirements to qualified MILF and MNLF members to join the Philippine National Police (PNP). This is contained under Art. 11, Sec. 2 of RA 11054 or the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), which realizes the provisions contained in the political track under the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB).

The CAB is the landmark peace agreement signed between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the MILF in 2014. It has two tracks: the political and normalization tracks.

PMGen Eden T. Ugale, chair of the GPH Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG) and member of the GPH Joint Peace and Security Committee (JPSC) visited the examination sites together with officials from the Police Regional Office Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (PRO BAR) and the NAPOLCOM National and BARMM offices.
 
Ugale was accompanied by GPH Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH) Operations Head Dave Jungco and Jeoffrey Sol representing CCCH Chair BGen. Antonio Nafarrete during the on-site monitoring to ensure the orderly and safe conduct of the examination.
 
"The GPH AHJAG commends the smooth and orderly conduct of the NSQE exam, which we owe much to the joint efforts of the national and Bangsamoro governments through the NAPOLCOM, PNP, DILG and other members of the Inter-Governmental Relations Body," Ugale said.
 
"We are honored to be part of this process that will enable former MILF and MNLF combatants to serve their country as peacekeepers. And for the examinees who will pass the examination and meet the other requirements, congratulations as we whole-heartedly welcome you to the PNP," he added.
 
Meanwhile, Presidential Peace Adviser Secretary Carlito G. Galvez, Jr. earlier expressed the national government's full support to the MILF and MNLF members who wish to join the PNP.

"By joining the PNP, these MILF and MNLF members are not only demonstrating their commitment to return to mainstream society as peaceful and productive civilians, but also their desire to help ensure peace and security in their communities,” Galvez said.
 
“This is the legacy of peace that the Duterte Administration would like to leave behind, which we hope the incoming administration will sustain and continue to build on in the coming years,” Galvez added.
Article 11, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the BOL states that:

“To facilitate entry into the PNP of MILF and MNLF members from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, the age, height and educational attainment requirements may be waived by the NAPOLCOM, subject to existing rules and regulations: Provided, That such shall be availed of within a period of five (5) years from ratification of this Organic Law: Provided, further, That the requirement of educational attainment shall be complied within fifteen (15) years from their entry: Provided, finally, That their ranks and grades shall be subject to existing laws, rules and regulations governing the PNP.”

A total of 5,060 successful examinees will be granted eligibility for temporary appointment as patrolman or patrolwoman of the PNP as contained under NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 2022-0081 “Prescribing NSQE as Appropriate Eligibility for Temporary Appointment to the Rank of Patrolman/Patrolwoman in the PNP for members of the MILF and MNLF.”
