OUR HUMBLE BEGINNING AND THE REASON OF OUR EXISTENCE

The 20th Infantry (We Lead) Battalion traces its roots with the activation of 20th Battalion Combat Team (20BCT) on 06 September 1950. The unit underwent rigorous training in preparation for deployment abroad as the countryโ€™s contribution to the United Nations. The 20BCT was one of the Army units that form part of the Philippine Expeditionary Forces to Korea (PEFTOK) and participated in numerous battles. Most notable of which were the Battles of Alligator Jaw Ridge (West of Chorwon) and the Battle of Jamestown Line. Although some of its personnel were wounded and eight were killed in action, the unit successfully won its campaigns. After a year of stint in Korea, 20BCT returned to the Philippines on 08 August 1952 and established its base in Plaridel, Bulacan. The Battalion was reactivated in September 1958 and was subsequently assigned with the 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division at Fort Magsaysay, Palayan City. Thereafter, the unit underwent organizational changes from Mechanized to Light Infantry, deployed to different parts of the country, and participated in various internal stability campaign. Currently, the unit is organic to 8th Infantry (Stormtroopers) Division, Philippine Army and placed under the operational control of 803rd Infantry (Peacemaker) Brigade. Since its activation in 1950, the 20th Infantry (We Lead) Battalion, Philippine Army has been resolute and faithful to its duties as bastion of democracy, guardians of peace, and partner in socio-economic and sustainable development efforts of the government. It has produced distinguished military officers and national leaders which include BGEN TEODULFO S. BAUTISTA who was murdered while on peace mission in Brgy Danag, Patikul, Sulu; AMBASSADOR MANUEL T. YAN; and PRESIDENT FIDEL V.

Narekober ng mga tauhan ng 20th Infantry Battalion (20IB) ang isang M1 Carbine r***e at dalawang magasin matapos makasagupa ang mga nalalabing kasapi ng Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) sa Barangay Poponton, Las Navas, Northern Samar noong Linggo ng umaga, Oktubre 4, 2026.

Mabilis na nagresponde ang militar matapos magbigay ng impormasyon ang mga residente sa lugar na mayroong mga armadong miyembro ng CTG na nagbabanta at nangingikil sa mga sibilyan.

Tumagal nang humigit-kumulang limang minuto ang palitan ng putok bago tuluyang tumakas ang mga rebelde mula sa pinangyarihan ng insidente.

Walang naitalang nasugatan o nasawi sa panig ng pamahalaan batay sa paunang ulat ng militar.
Kinamuhian ni Brigadier General Carmelito Pangatungan, Commander ng 803rd Infantry Brigade, ang patuloy na pangingikil ng grupo sa mga mamamayan.

"Extortion and intimidation are deliberate acts against the very people the CTG claims to serve. But our communities are no longer willing to be victimized. The courage of residents to speak up made this operation possible, and we will remain relentless in protecting them from threats and violence," pahayag ni Brig. Gen. Pangatungan.

Pinuri rin ng 8th Infantry Division (8ID) ang pakikipagtulungan ng mga residente ng Barangay Poponton sa pagbibigay ng mabilis na impormasyon para maprotektahan ang komunidad at marekober ang armas ng kalaban.

"This encounter demonstrates that the partnership between our troops and the people is a decisive force against insurgency. The communityโ€™s timely information helped protect lives and contributed to the recovery of an enemy fi***rm. We encourage our people to remain vigilant and continue working with government forces toward lasting peace," ayon sa pahayag ng 8ID.

Nanawagan muli ang 8ID sa mga nalalabing miyembro ng CTG na sumuko na at magbalik-loob sa pamahalaan habang may pagkakataon pa.

Maaari nilang samantalahin ang mga tulong sa ilalim ng Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), Local Social Integration Program (LSIP), at amnesty program upang muling makapiling ang kanilang pamilya. | ๐—จ๐—ก๐—ข
