JRTF-ELCAC 3 Operation Yields Key Surrender and Firearm Recovery in Tarlac
TARLAC CITY, TARLAC — In line with the Whole-of-Nation Approach under Executive Order No. 70, combined security forces successfully facilitated the withdrawal of support and surrender of a former organizer for the Alyansa ng mga Manggagawang Bukid ng Asyenda Luisita (AMBALA) on September 5, 2026.
The joint, intelligence-driven operation was led by the Tarlac 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company (1st PMFC), alongside the Tarlac City Police Station, Provincial Intelligence Unit (PIU), RIU3 PIT-Tarlac, PIDMU Tarlac PPO, and DMFB SPD NCRPO. During the operation, the former recruiter also turned over an unregistered homemade shotgun.
"This success reflects the strong collaboration within Joint Regional Task Force 3 (JRTF3) and our police force's steadfast commitment to bringing former rebels back into the fold of the law," said Police Brigadier General Jess B. Mendez, Regional Director of Police Regional Office 3 (PRO 3) and Chairperson of the RTF-ELCAC 3 Technical Working Group. "Under our active local engagement and strategic peace initiatives, the campaign for lasting peace in Central Luzon continues to gain momentum."
PRO 3 and JRTF 3 remain dedicated to protecting local communities and sustaining regional peace efforts.
