FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – The Philippine Army deployed additional troops composed of 130 personnel of the 12th Civil-Military
Operation “Kabukludan” Battalion and Hijab Troopers to Marawi City
through a simple send-off ceremony held at Colonel Jesus Villamor Air
Base, Pasay City on June 21, 2018.
The 12th CMO Battalion and
the Hijab Troopers, which will be placed under operational control of
the Joint Task Force Ranao will assist in the rehabilitation of Marawi
City that suffered massive devastation as a result of the five-month
long battle between government forces and the ISIS-inspired Maute
terrorist group last year.
While the Hijab Troopers composed mainly
of female personnel, in support of the Local Government Unit and other
concerned agencies will help facilitate the needs and requirements of
internally displaced persons (IDPs), conduct peace education and psycho
social intervention in support of JTG Ranao’s Civil-Military Operations.
“The Philippine Army will remain
steadfast in performing its mandate, to serve the people and in securing
the land. Despite of the prevailing security challenges, we will
keep our word to support and extend our very best for the immediate
recovery of Marawi,” said Lieutenant Colonel Louie Villanueva,
Philippine Army Spokesperson.
On the other hand, Major General Gener
P. Del Rosario, the Army Inspector General who spearheaded the send-off
told the troops that maintaining peace and security of our country takes
more than just heroism and sacrifices. It also takes unified efforts
with civilians to ensure lasting stability and sustained national
development. Likewise, he encouraged the troops to maintain the positive
image of the Philippine Army by abiding with the standards of
excellence, gallantry and dedicated service grounded on its core values
of honor, patriotism and duty.#
