PAGADIAN
CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Feb. 4 (PNA) -- Military troops have been placed on
alert against possible attacks from members of the New People’s Army (NPA) in
this province.
The
alert level was raised after President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday announced the
lifting of the unilateral ceasefire with the Communist Party of the
Philippines-NPA (CPP-NPA).
“We are
on alert status and we are only waiting for further directives from the general
headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP),” Lt. Col. Virgilio
Hamos Jr., the Army’s 53rd Infantry Battalion (IB) commander, said on Saturday.
However,
Hamos said the situation in his area of responsibility “is still okay” and that
they are still in control.
The
53rd IB covers the entire province except for the municipality of Bayog. The
battalion’s headquarters is located in the town of Guipos.
Hamos
disclosed that seven of this province’s 26 municipalities are known to be NPA-influenced
areas.
These
are the municipalities of San Miguel, Lapuyan, Bayog, Lakewood, Midsalip,
Dumingag and Josefina.
He said
a recent assessment put the NPA's influence in the seven towns at three on a
scale of one to 10.
“These
municipalities are on the watch list,” he added. (PNA)
