High powered firearm, personal belongings of rebels captured in a clash in Agusan Norte

CABADBARAN CITY, Agusan Del Norte - One (1) M16 rifle, three (3) serviceable ammunition of 40mm M203 Grenade Launcher and assorted personal belongings were captured by the troops of the 29th Infantry Battalion in a 10-minute firefight at Sitio Pirada, Brgy Del Pilar, Agusan del Norte on April 17.

The troops were conducting combat operations in the area when they encountered more or less 10 CNTs who are believed to be members of the Platoon 1, Sub-Regional Sentro de Grabedad, Westland, North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee (SRSDG, WL, NEMRC) under Marjun Navarro alias Julia.

Before the encounter, the unit received information from concerned civilians who reported the presence of the armed communist terrorist group (CTG) periodically extorting and demanding all kinds of supplies from the miners of Sitio Pirada. After validating the report, the troops of 29IB immediately conducted a combat operation.

Lt.Col. Mark S Tabon, commanding officer of 29IB, said, “We appeal to the remaining communist NPA terrorists (CNTs) to abandon the futile armed struggle and avoid unnecessary deaths caused by fighting for the twisted ideology. We encourage the remaining CNT to take advantage of the government's Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) and National Amnesty Program, which will assure them the opportunity to start a new life. (Gi-awhag namo ang mga nahibiling mga myembro sa kalihukan nga undangan na ang walay pulos nga armadong pakigbisog ug likayan ang mga walay hinungdan nga kamatayon nga resulta sa pagsunod sa balikog nga ideolohiya. Gidasig usab namo ang mga nahibiling mga miyembro nga pahimuslan ang Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) ug National Amnesty Program sa gobyerno, nga maghatag kanila og kahigayonan nga magsugod og bag-ong kinabuhi).” (1lt.

DA, LGU Las Nieves validate proposed farm bridges

LAS NIEVES, Agusan del Norte -- The local government unit (LGU) of Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture (DA) Caraga, conducted an initial validation of proposed farm bridge sites in Barangays Bonifacio and San Roque. The activity served as a crucial step in improving rural accessibility and supporting the transport of agricultural products from farms to markets.

Led by Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers from the Municipal Agriculture Office and representatives from the DA Caraga -Regional Agricultural Engineering Division (RAED), including Engr. Arlie Grace Gascon-Dublios and Engr. Rolando J. Artiaga, the team assessed the potential locations for the construction of farm bridges.

These bridges are intended to connect agricultural production areas to existing and planned farm-to-market roads, ensuring that farmers can transport their harvest more efficiently and safely, regardless of weather or terrain.

For DA Caraga, access is essential in agriculture. With farm bridges in place, farmers won’t need to rely on makeshift crossings or endure delays during heavy rains. This directly affects how quickly they can bring their goods to market.

The validation process included a thorough evaluation of the area’s topography, soil stability, and overall accessibility to ensure the durability and functionality of the infrastructure. These technical assessments are vital in constructing safe and sustainable bridges that will serve farming communities for years to come.

This initiative formed part of the continued efforts of the LGU Las Nieves to strengthen rural infrastructure and improve the economic resilience of agricultural communities.

“By improving farm-to-market connectivity, the municipality hoped to create better opportunities for farmers, reduce post-harvest losses, and encourage local economic activity. The improved access will not only benefit farming households but also support food security efforts in the wider area,” said Las Nieves Mayor Karen S. Rosales.

As LGU Las Nieves invests in long-term infrastructure, projects like these farm bridges paved the way for more inclusive and productive development in the countryside. (NCLM, PIA Agusan del Norte)
