CAMP OLIVAS, City of San Fernando, Pampanga –The Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) sent to jail 65 terror group members during its operations from January 10 to March 31.

The arrests were part of the PRO3’s intensified campaign against communist terror groups (CTGs).

Some 40 former rebels returned to the fold of the law while 84 individuals withdrew their support for the communist insurgency, signaling a growing public commitment to peace and stability. 

The shift underscores increasing awareness of the long-term consequences of rebellion and the benefits of a violence-free future.

Likewise, 68 firearms were voluntarily surrendered, weakening the armed capabilities of CTGs while 20 explosives were seized, preventing potential attacks and enhancing public safety.

PRO3 director Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo lauded her men for the accomplishments.

“These achievements highlight the strength of our whole-of-nation approach. With the support of our partner agencies and the community, we are dismantling terrorist structures while offering former rebels a path to a peaceful and productive life. Our mission remains clear—to free Central Luzon from the grip of insurgency and ensure lasting peace,” Fajardo said.

“PRO3 remains steadfast in its commitment to sustaining these efforts, reinforcing security measures, and expanding rehabilitation programs to fully integrate former rebels into society,” she added.
