The New People�s Army (NPA) Southern Mindanao Regional Command lauds the
officers and Red fighters of the 6th Pulang Bagani Company of the
ComVal-Davao Gulf Sub-Regional Command and the ComVal-Davao East Coast
Sub-Regional Command for the successful joint tactical offensive
launched at a security agency headquarters and the military�s
reinforcement troops on May 20 and 21 in Tagum City and Mawab town.
Disguised as PDEA operatives, the NPA Red fighters raided the Dasia
Security Agency headquarters at the Dr. Juan Gonzales Street, Orange
Valley village located less than a kilometer from both the Davao del
Norte Provincial headquarters and Tagum City Philippine National Police
station at 7:45 evening of May 20. Without firing a single shot, the Red
fighters immediately controlled the headquarters and confiscated one M4
5.56 automatic rifle, three Baby armalite rifles, two M16 armalite
rifles, two 12-gauge shotguns, ammunitions, ammunition magazine and
vests and bulletproof vests.
For a total of 15 minutes, the NPA�s daring raid was conducted amid high
police, military and intelligence personnel at the downtown city area.
Caught by surprise, the enemy was only able to dispatch its
reinforcement troops after more than 10 hours later. The successful NPA
offensive in Tagum City drew the enemy forces to NPA lair, thus making
the enemy reaction unit vulnerable to NPA ambuscades. Having anticipated
enemy reaction, the NPA operatives hit military troops with two
attritive actions resulting to multiple casualties.
On May 21, at 6:15 AM, the NPA discharged command-detonated explosive
(CDX) hitting the Philippine Army�s 66th Infantry Battalion onboard a
KM450 military vehicle along the national highway at Barangay Pandapan,
Tagum City. Enemy soldiers were wounded.
Later at 8 AM, the NPA discharged another round of CDX, damaging an
armored personnel carrier some two to three kilometers away from the
Army�s 10th Infantry Division at Sitio Tagmanok, Barangay Tuburan, Mawab
town, Compostela Valley province. The explosion resulted to high enemy
casualties.
The disarming of the Dasia Security Agency was a punitive action against
its owner, the Escandor family, who was responsible for various
landgrabbing offenses against the Matigsalogs in Barangay Salumanay and
Sitio Marahan in Marilog District and versus the Ubo Lumads in
Baracatan, Toril District, all in Davao City.
The Tagum City raid and ambush of reaction troops are in line with the
call of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines
to intensify tactical offensives in order to seize more weapons and
create more units of the People�s Army. The intensification of disarming
operations and ambush of enemy reaction troops aim to develop fully the
political and military strength of Red fighters under the NPA Southern
Mindanao Regional Command in order to reach the strategic stalemate in
the next few years.
