Lt Col Michael Rey Reuyan, commander of the 36th IB , said the encounter is the result of the relentless combat operation and support from the communities in Surigao del Sur.

"We are thankful with the support and information given by the locals and communities of Lanuza, Surigao Sur. This articulates that the growing support of the communities is a response that they don't want the Communist Terrorist Group in their area," he said.

“To the remaining CPP-NPA terrorist, lay down your firearms, return to your families, and celebrate Holy Week with them. Avail the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), the government intervention package for those who will surrender”, he added. Robina Asido/DMS
