FOUR HIGH-POWERED firearms were recovered by the 1001st Infantry Brigade in two separate areas in Davao De Oro on June 14.
Alias Jeg, commanding officer, and alias Dandan, secretary of dismantled Guerilla Front 2 who surrendered to the government forces on June 10, revealed the location of one M16 Elisco rifle, Firebird M4 rifle, and Sniper rifle Winchester-898 in Sitio Singapore, Barangay Anitapan, Mabini; and one M16 rifle with bandolier in Sitio Mission, Barangay Andap, New Bataan.
The 1001st brigade and the 10th Military Intelligence Battalion (10MIB), Maragusan Municipal Police Station, and Davao De Oro Provincial Police Office (DDOPPO) recovered the firearms in the area.
MGen Nolasco A Mempin, 10th Infantry Division commander, lauded the 25th Infantry Battalion, 28IB, and the Davao De Oro PNP for the successful retrieval of the firearms.
“With the cooperation of former high-ranking NPA leaders and with the good implementation of PTF ELCAC in the province, Davao De Oro will surely soon become insurgency-free,” Mempin said.
