CAMP CAPINPIN, Rizal – Soldiers of the Philippine Army’s 2nd Infantry (Jungle Fighter) Division (2ID) found an arms cache belonging to the Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee (STRPC) in Rizal, Occidental Mindoro.
According to Philippine Army 2ID Public Affairs Office chief Lt. Col. Jeffrex Molina, troopers belonging to the 2ID’s 68th Infantry (Kaagapay) Battalion (68IB) were conducting security operations in Bgy. Manoot on All Saints’ Day when they found the arms cache hidden by the communist terrorist group (CTG).
Recovered were a rifle scope, two M16 rifle hammers, two M16 rifle triggers, an IED switch, and a magazine.
2ID commander Maj. Gen. Cerilo Balaoro Jr. said the recovery of the arms cache contributes to undermining the capabilities of the terrorist groups.
Balaoro added that the discovery underscores the commitment of the 2ID troops to maintaining security and preventing the spread of illegal firearms and explosives that threaten the safety of local communities.
The recovered items were safely turned over to the authorities for documentation and proper disposal.
Security operations in the area continue as part of the 2ID’s ongoing efforts to maintain peace and order.
