ZAMBOANGA CITY - The Army's 1st Infantry "Tabak" Division (ID) has added 153 new soldiers to its ranks as it makes a final push to defeat the last guerrilla front of the New People's Army (NPA) in its area of operation.
The new soldiers completed military training at the 1st Division Training School (1DTS) in Camp Major Cesar Sang-an in Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur, Lt. Col. Franco Raphael Alano, 1DTS commandant, said Tuesday.
Alano advised the new soldiers to always seek self-improvement as they report to their duty assignments. The batch graduated Monday at the 1DTS facility.
Alano said the Army's 102nd Infantry Brigade, 1ID's unit pursuing the NPA's Western Mindanao Regional Party Committed (WMRPC), repositioned its forces last week to defeat the remaining NPA rebels in Misamis Occidental.
Brig. Gen. Leonel Nicolas, 102nd IBde commander, said the "final push" aims to bring down by the end of this month the Guerrilla Front Sendong.
The NPA unit is the last remaining, organized front of the NPA's WMRPC with active members scattered in different areas in Misamis Occidental. (PNA)
