MANILA, Philippines – Naaresto ang nasa 67 dayuhan na sangkot sa iba’t ibang iligal na aktibidad ngayong taon.
Ito ay bunga ng intensified intelligence-sharing pact sa mga awtoridad sa Davao region.
Sa meeting ng joint military, police, at coast guard intelligence committee noong Biyernes, Nobyembre 13 sa Davao City, pinag-usapan ng mga ito ang susunod na hakbang para mabuwag naman ang local communist armed presence sa lugar.
“Authorities are specifically zeroing in on ‘foreign interference and malign influence,’ a new thrust that recently triggered 17 coordinated operations against illicit activities run by foreigners within the 10ID’s area of responsibility,” sinabi ni Maj. Ruben Gadut, spokesperson ng Army 10th Infantry Division (10ID).
“We must not become complacent with the gains we have achieved. Sustaining peace and stability requires continuous vigilance, timely and evidence-based assessments, and proactive collaboration,” sinabi naman ni Army Maj. Gen. Alvin Luzon, 10ID commander.
“The strength of our collective efforts lies not in what each agency accomplishes independently, but in how we work together toward a common purpose,” dagdag pa niya. RNT/JGC
