Two New People’s Army members have been captured by troops conducting combat operations in Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro on Wednesday, April 26, 2023.
Soldiers from the 4th Infantry “Scorpion” Battalion were conducting combat operations at Sitio Haguines in Barangay Wasig when they captured two armed personalities identified as Ka Aryo, the second Deputy Secretary of KLG MAV from the Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee’s Sub-Regional Military Area 4D, and alias Luoise, the supply officer of KLG MAV’s Platun Serna and a former liaison of Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee’s Regional Staff.
Among the items seized by the troops include one Intratec LUGER UZI sub-machine gun, one M1 Carbine rifle, one magazine loaded with 24 rounds of ammunition, 22 rounds of Cal. 45 live ammunition, an improvised hand grenade, 2 blasting caps, 8 mobile phones, a tablet, 2 power banks, 6 cellphone chargers, pocket wifi, 2 memory cards, 7 USB flash drives, 4 sim cards, medical supplies, subversive documents, and other personal belongings.
Currently, the two personalities are undergoing custodial debriefing. This development comes only a day after one soldier was held and later killed while returning home in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. These incidents speak of the CPP-NPA-NDF’s violence and disregard for human lives as opposed to the military’s thrusts of advocating peace instead of unjustly killing the rebels they capture.
“We are consistently working with our partners from the security sector, the LGUs, and other key stakeholders in upholding the rule of the law. We are also grateful for the efforts and cooperation of our kababayans that resulted in the apprehension of these wanted NPA rebels. With this, we continue to urge those who are still in arms to return to the folds of the law so as not to suffer the same fate as these rebels,” 2nd Infantry “Jungle Fighter” Division Commander Maj. Gen. Roberto S. Capulong said in a statement.
