More North Luzon barangays free from Communist terrorists – NOLCOM

Published Mar 19, 2022 11:55 am

CAGAYAN -- Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) and the Area Police Command – Northern Luzon (APC-NL) announced Saturday the successful clearing of barangays in the north and central Luzon which are now free from the clutches of the Communist terrorists.

The NOLCOM and the (APC-NL) formally announced the successful clearing of barangays in north and central Luzon on Thursday via video teleconference.

Operations officers from the Joint Task Force Tala and Kaugnay presented their accomplishments and recommendations during the Area Clearing Validation Committee (ACVC) Meeting jointly presided by NoLCom Deputy Commander Brig. Gen. Leandro Abeleda III and APC-NL Deputy Commander Maj. Gen. Alessandro Abella.

Lt. Col. Norman Valdez reported that 21 barangays and sitios in their area of operations are cleared from the presence of CTGs.

“The 21 barangays and sitios are focus areas of the weakened CTG unit Komiteng Larangang Gerilya (KLG) North Abra,” added Lt. Col. Valdez.

Lt. Col. Angelo Saguiguit also declared the successful clearing of 13 formerly CTG-infested barangays in Isabela which were focus areas of the remnants of the Central Front Committee.

It can be recalled that during the previous NoLCom ACVC convergence on February 24, 2022, the CTG unit Bataan-Zambales (BatZam), Komiteng Larangang Gerilya (KLG) West-South Party Committee (SPC), and the withering Komiteng Probinsya (KOMPROB) Cagayan, West Cagayan were successfully declared as weakened in addition to the dismantling of the Regional Sentro De Grabidad (RSDG), Regional Operation Command (ROC), Komiteng Rehiyon-Cagayan Valley ( KRCV).

This successive neutralization of Communists leaders resulted into leadership vacuum that led to the weakening of their capabilities in making terroristic threats, extortion, and manipulation of their targeted communities.

Nolcom noted that clearing parameters under the AFP – PNP Joint Letter Directive No. 03 (series 2020), were utilized during the evaluation and validation process of the ACVC meeting.

Maj. Gen. Abella attributed their recent accomplishments to “the harmonious working relationship and synergistic collaboration of the AFP and PNP, backed by the support of the general public in their pursuit for peace, security, and development”.

Since December 2020, the NoLCom and APC-NL ACVC have been successful in dismantling four Communist terrorist guerilla fronts; the KLG Southern Ilocos Sur, KLG Quirino-Nueva Vizcaya, KLG Sierra Madre, and the Central Front Committee.
