TO UNEARTH AND DISMANTLE THE OPP OF CNN ESTABLISHED WITHIN PAQUIBATO DISTRICT AND TO NEUTRALIZE MEMBERS OF POLITICAL PARTY BRANCH AT THE BARANGAY LEVEL, AND DESTROY ARMED COMPONENT OF PBC1 IN ORDER TO WIN THE SUPPORT OF THE MASSES TOWARDS THE GOVERNMENT AND ESTABLISH AN ENVIRONMENT OF PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE AREA OF OPERATIONS. PAQUIBATO DISTRICT, DAVAO CITY IS KNOWN AS THE BIRTH PLACE OF SOUTHERN MINDANAO REGION COMMAND (SMRC) OF CNN. FOR MORE THAN THREE (3) DECADES, PAQUIBATO DISTRICT IS THE STRONGHOLD OF PBC 1 AND IT BECAME THE BREEDING GROUND OF RED FIGHTERS WHILE IT PROVIDES THE MANPOWER REQUIREMENT TO OTHER GUERRILLA FRONTS OPERATING WITHIN THE REGION. PBC 1 IS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF LEONCIO PITAO AKA PARAGO WITH FORTY FIVE (45) MANPOWER AND ONE HUNDRED NINETY-FOUR (194) ASSORTED HIGH POWERED FIREARMS. FOR 1ST SEMESTER 2014, PAQUIBATO DISTRICT BECAME THE NATIONAL PRIORITY AREA IN LINE WITH THE NUMEROUS VIOLENCE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY PBC 1 IN DAVAO CITY. FROM 2012 UP TO THIS REPORTING, SIXTY FOUR (64) NUMEROUS VIOLENCE INCIDENCE WERE RECORDED, AND SIGNIFICANT OF THESE INCIDENCE WERE REPORTED LAST SEPTEMBER 2012, WHEREIN PBC 1 INITIATED GRENADE THROWING DURING THE CIRCUS SHOW IN LINE WITH FIESTA CELEBRATION OF BARANGAY FATIMA, PDDC THAT RESULTED TO THE WOUNDING FORTY SEVEN (47) INNOCENT CIVILIANS. ALSO IN NOVEMBER 2012, FOUR (4) ENLISTED PERSONNEL ASSIGNED WITH 60TH INFANTRY BATTALION WERE AMBUSHED AND KILLED-IN- ACTION (KIA) AT VICINITY CINCO, BRGY MAPULA, PDDC. ANOTHER IN JUNE 2013, FIVE (5) ENLISTED PERSONNEL FROM SAME UNIT WERE ABDUCTED AT PUROK LUBAS,
PAQUIBATO PROPER, PDDC. AFTER MONTHS OF CAPTIVITY, THEY WERE RELEASED WITH THE NEGOTIATION MADE BY THE MAYOR OF DAVAO CITY. FURTHER, SEVERAL LANDMINE ATTACKS WERE ALSO INITIATED AGAINST GOVERNMENT FORCES PARTICULARLY OUR PDOP TEAMS OPERATING IN THE AREA WHILE SEVERAL CIVILIANS WERE THREATENED AND OTHERS WERE LIQUIDATED BY PBC1 WITH THE INSTRUCTION OF LOCAL PARTY BRANCH LEADER OF BEING SUSPECTED AS MILITARY INFORMANTS. STARTING 3RD QUARTER 2012 UP TO 2013, AND WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BATTALION IMPLAN PILAK I, THIS UNIT CONDUCTED PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH PROGRAM ACTIVITIES IN ADDRESSING THE THREATS BEING POSED BY PBC 1 AND FURTHER IMMERSED TO BARANGAY PROPER OF PAQUIBATO DISTRICT. HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO IDENTIFY MEMBERS OF UNDERGROUND MASS ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF CNN MASS BASE WERE ESTABLISHED AND LOCATED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF ADJACENT BARANGAYS. IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED OPERATIONAL GAP, SWARMING DEPLOYMENT OF PDOP TEAMS UP TO SITIO LEVEL WAS VIGOROUSLY IMPLEMENTED ON 21 FEBRUARY 2014 WITH THE AUGMENTATION OF TWO (2) COMPANIES OF 60TH INFANTRY BATTALION AND ONE (1) COMPANY FROM 84TH INFANTRY BATTALION TASKED TO DISMANTLE THE OPP OF CNN IN THE AREA.

WHEN TROOPS OCCUPIED THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS, THEY CONDUCTED NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY (NAS) AND KAMAY, KAWAY, NGITI, BATI (KKNB) TO LOCAL POPULACE TO WIN THEIR THRUST AND CONFIDENCE TOWARDS THE GOVERNMENT. DURING THE CONDUCT OF SURVEY, TROOPS WERE ABLE TO FOUND OUT THE ISSUES BEING EXPLOITED BY CNN TOWARDS THE LOCAL POPULACE. AMONG THESE LOCAL ISSUES SUCH AS MINING EXPLORATION WHERE OUR PDOP TEAMS WERE BEING ACCUSED AS ADVANCE ELEMENTS TO SECURE MINING COMPANY, PROGRAM OF LAND DISTRIBUTION OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRARIAN REFORM WAS BOGUS BECAUSE THE BENEFICIARIES WERE REQUIRED TO PAY THE ANNUAL DUES BEFORE THEY CAN ACQUIRE/POSSESS THE CERTIFICATE OF LAND TITLE. THEY ALSO
EXPLOITED THE CADT OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WHEREIN THEY ACCUSED IP COMMUNITY SHALL GRAB THE LAND WHICH WERE ALREADY OWNED AND TILT BY THE NON-LUMAD POPULACE. LASTLY, THE CNN EXPLOITED THE HIGH INPUTS PRODUCTS AND LOW OUTPUT PRODUCTS THAT ONLY THE COMPRADORS WILL CONTINUE TO BE RICH AND THE PEASANTS WILL ALWAYS BE THE POOR, AND THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS SITUATION IS THROUGH ARMED STRUGGLE. WHILE FOR THE SECONDARY ISSUES, THE MOST COMMON WERE THE FARM TO MARKET ROAD, WATER SYSTEM, MEDICAL FACILITIES, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, AND ELECTRICITY.

THE TROOPS ALSO CONDUCTED SITIO/PUROK LEVEL PULONG-PULONG IN ORDER TO EDUCATE THE POPULACE ON HOW THEY WERE DECEIVED BY THE CNN.
