Rebel arms cache discovered in Tarlac

BAGUIO CITY (May 31, 2022)—Government forces of the 3rd Mechanized Battalion under the “Joint Task Force Kaugnay” reportedly discovered an arms cache of the CPP-NPA early Monday morning at Sitio Tala, Brgy Burgos, San Jose, Tarlac.
Lt. Gen. Ernesto Torres Jr., Commander of the Northern Luzon Command, said “troops in the area received an anonymous tip from a concerned citizen regarding the whereabouts of the arms cache allegedly owned by the dwindling terrorist group Komiteng Larangan Guerilla Tarlac – Zambales (KLG TARZAM).” 
Among those recovered items are: one Galil rifle; two M16 rifles; one M203 grenade launchers; one shotgun; one long magazine for Galil; four short magazines for M16 rifle; seventy-one 5.56mm ammunitions and eighteen 40x46mm grenade launcher ammunitions said Commanding Officer of 3rd Mechanized Battalion Lt. Col. Jeszer Bautista.
Lt. Gen. Torres said that “the continuous discovery of (rebel) arms cache is a way to deplete them of their resources which prevents them from performing hostile attacks in the north and central Luzon.” 
“Our series of operations against these terrorists will continue to intensify as we aim to further constrict the CTGs of their operating spaces, limit their movement, and disable them from their ability to recruit and deceive our countrymen,” the NoLCom Commander added.
