PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan – The military under the Joint Task Group South (JTGS) recovered a new set of war materiels recently in a remote village in southern Palawan following a focused military operation against insurgency.
Capt. Wanel Ansa, environmental unit and civil affairs officer of the Marine Battalion Landing Team-4 (MBLT-4), on Friday said assorted warfare tools and supplies were recovered in Sitio Tibag, Barangay Bono-Bono, Bataraza on October 24.
“The JTGS continues to cripple the capabilities of the NPA in Bataraza and in the whole of southern Palawan with the discovery of this new set of war materiels through information and sincere cooperation of the local community,” Ansa said.
These include one unit shotgun with 12 pieces ammunition, one piece MK2 grenade, one unit homemade .22mm pistol, caliber .45 and 9mm ammunitions, one piece M14 magazine, improvised explosive device components, one generator set, a global positioning system, and subversive documents.
Ansa said the discovery and seizure of the new war materiels in Bono-Bono came after troops from the MBLT-4 operating in Brooke’s Point also recovered war materials on September 21 and September 24 in barangays Malis and Salogon. (Celeste Anna Formoso/PNA)
