CTG Member Neutralized, Firearm Seized in Baybay City Encounter

One Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) member was neutralized, and troops from the 802nd Infantry “Peerless” Brigade recovered one high-powered firearm (HPFA) following an armed encounter at around 3 p.m. on September 8 in Barangay Caridad, Baybay City.

Troops responded to information from a concerned individual regarding the presence of CTG members in the area, leading to an armed encounter with the government forces.

The neutralized CTG member was identified as Erwin Murillo Maceda, alias “Romnick,” a native of Las Navas, Northern Samar.

Brig. Gen. Pompeyo Jason M. Almagro, commander of the 802nd Infantry “Peerless” Brigade, urged the remaining CTG members to lay down their arms, surrender, and return to their families and communities while they still have the opportunity to do so peacefully.

“Choosing to surrender is choosing life, your family, and a peaceful future,” Almagro said, reaffirming the Army’s commitment to protecting communities and preserving the peace gains achieved by the people of Baybay City.

The 802nd Infantry “Peerless” Brigade remains steadfast in safeguarding communities and sustaining peace and security while continuing to encourage CTG members to surrender, return to the folds of the law, and peacefully reintegrate into their families and communities.
