"We will not stop in our mission to end the insurgency against the CNTs until they surrender. It is very clear that people wants peace and abhor violence as a means to create a thriving society. It is with the community support that lies the development of peace and closure of conflict in their respective areas. Without mass support, CNTs are just mere fishes without water because the masses are their lifeblood. I am calling once again to all peace loving Surigaonon to unite with us and stop supporting with the CNTs with their financial scheme, we deter these CNTs from your communities by encouraging them to surrender and avail the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program, the government intervention package, for those who will lay down their arms and see the futility of armed struggle,” Lt Col Diagmel added.
The operation was part of the intensified resource control of the unit to put a stop on the flow of supplies to the abusive Communist Terrorist Group operating in the area.
The items were already deposited at MPS Lanuza, Surigao del Sur for safekeeping and proper disposition.
