PAGADIAN
CITY (August 6, 2019) -
“Let us continue to develop the competencies required on us, not only in war
fighting, but also in operations other than war for the sake of peace in
Mindanao,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of Western Mindanao
Command, during his visit to military troops in Tawi-Tawi on August 6.
Sobejana urged Joint Task Force
Tawi-Tawi troops to maintain their resolve by strengthening interagency and multi-sector
cooperation to bridge peace in the operational area.
“We
don’t win wars because we do not want one. We should win the peace, and, in
winning the peace, we don’t need weapons,” he added.
The WestMinCom chief encouraged ground
commanders to look after the welfare of their personnel while they work to accomplish
their mission.
“I had several gunshot wounds, and I
turned those wounds into wisdom rather than anger. So, for those who were
wounded, I would like you to embrace that idea,” he said, relating his experience
in Basilan.
He also vowed to address issues on maritime
domain security through a diplomatic approach.
Brig. Gen. Camilo Balutan, JTF Tawi-Tawi
Commander, welcomed Lt. Gen. Sobejana and his staff in Sanga-Sanga, Bongao on
Tuesday.
The WestMinCom commander also received
security updates from the ground forces at the Maritime Coordinating Center. (With
