Insurgency Free Aurora Campaign

REMNANTS OF NPA BANDITS SUFFERED ONE FATALITY AS THEY ENTERED AURORA PROVINCE



BALER, AURORA – Government forces belonging to the 48th Infantry “Guardians” led by LT MORENO  clashed anew with NPA bandits  at the vicinity of Sitio Alasanay, Barangay Dimanayat, San Luis, Aurora at about 2:30 in the afternoon yesterday. The soldiers were fired upon by the rebels while responding to the report of a civilian that some unidentified armed men believed to be communist rebels were terrorizing their village.  One   (1) terrorist was killed while the government soldiers did not suffer any casualty. Recovered from the slain communist were one (1) M16 Rifle, one (1) bandoleer with two (2) long magazines, fifty (50) rounds ammunition and assorted personal belongings. The cadaver was turned-over to San Luis Police Station.

 

LTC ESCARCHA said that the group of NPA bandits encountered by the soldiers probably came from nearby provinces and were not residents of Aurora as the slain terrorist could not be identified by villagers. “This group attempted to enter the Province of Aurora to discredit the Insurgency-Free Aurora Campaign  that we successfully launched and facilitated to cover up their setbacks and obvious defeat. They will certainly fail because the people were behind their soldiers. The citizens of San Luis town are very cooperative to the troops because of the kind of relationship we earlier established making them feel that we are the true defenders of the Aurorans against these communist oppressors.”, said LTC ESCARCHA

  1. Thanks 48IB for defending us from evils of terrorists... it is now time to wipe these groups out so that they will never come back. We Aurorans are already tired of these people... long live Aurorans!

  2. Hmmm......... Kunwari niyo lang yan eh, bakit ayaw niyo pa kasi aminin na di pa insurgency free ang aurora dahil dami pa problema na di kayang bigyan ng splution ng gobyerno, tulad na lang ng problema sa APEZA... Those proclamation of insurgency free aurora are just mere pronouncement bu the reality is that cpp/npa is getting stronger because we have always reason to survive to air the grievances of the people... Aurorans I'm appealing to your vigilance, especially to this 48IB who is known for abuses of civilians long before the propaganda declaration of insurgency free aurora!

  3. Nagkakamali ka kaibigan, the problem regarding the APEZA is already contained. The grievances of the people affected by that APEZA were being addressed by the management at the best thing is that nag uusap sila. Now, the 48IB didn't proclaim that the Aurora is now Insurgency Free.. it was not us but the people, the Aurorans who believe that Aurora cannot be terrorize again by the likes of you. Just read the latest post.. you will see who are the true human rights violators. I will give you credible evidences for your satisfaction. Tanx for the comment!!

  4. Can you pose those evidences here so people will see? and can you pose all my comments too, so people will know the truth...

  5. absolutely my friend, it seems that you are very interested in all this matters. We're happy that people like you share your views and comments.. The answer is very simple - People are tired of the Communist Terrorist's exploitations and extortions here in our province.. that's the truth. That is also why the NPA could no longer stay in the barangays because they were easily tipped off by the residents to the military operating units like what happened in San Luis.

  6. Those are the evidences you are telling us? People will not believe those abstract evidences, we need concrete evidence. Ofcourse you will tell us that they are conducting extortion because you want the people to fight on your side, actually some of the NPA are helping the people to fight for their rights. Rights which the authorities are abusing, soldiers, pnp and even the Angara clan, they are doing project for their own benifits only and for the benefits of the foreign capitalists! Poor Filipinos will soon become slave of our own land... Look what is happening to our country now, isn't that big businesses owns by foreign individuals? or by few Filipinos alone? And who are the workers? ofcourse the poor Juan Dela Cruz, wake-up young idealist gentleman... open your mind, you know the truth, there's nothing new in how government officials are dealing with the problem of poverty... there projects are for the foreign nationals not for the poor filipino people... Kawawa naman si Juan dela Cruz, kawawa din kayong mga sundalo na nasa ibaba dahil yung mga boss niyo lang ang nagpapasarap!

  7. Yes those are the evidences.. if it seems unrealistic to you, ask the former rebels why they returned to mainstream society and entice their former comrades to join them. Mas kawawa si Juan Dela Cruz kung patuloy syang makinig sa mga taong katulad mo. Si Juan Dela Cruz ay hindi bobo, let him decide just like the former rebels who finally decided on their own. At pasensya na kaibigan, hindi na mabenta ang mga issues na binabato mo. Hindi mo pasan ang problema ng Pilipinas, ayusin mo muna buhay mo and become a better citizen. That is the best thing you can do for your country. God bless!!
