Calinog, Iloilo – Troops from the 12th Infantry “Lick 'Em” Battalion (12IB) successfully discovered an arms cache belonging to the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) in Barangay Tacayan, Tapaz, Capiz on July 15, 2025.
The operation was launched following credible information provided by a former rebel (FR), highlighting the continued cooperation between former insurgents and government forces in the fight against local terrorism.
The focused military operation resulted in the recovery of several war materials, including one (1) M16 rifle, three (3) short steel magazines, ammunition, and two (2) rifle grenades. Also seized were one (1) anti-personnel mine (APM) detonator, three (3) blasting caps, 50 meters of wire, one (1) holster, and one (1) defective caliber .38 pistol.
This successful recovery emphasizes the Philippine Army’s commitment to dismantling CTG remnants and ensuring peace and security in the area. The 12IB continues to encourage the remaining CTG remnants to come forward and support the government’s peace-building efforts through the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).
