The Philippine Army’s campaign against loose firearms has intensified in Cotabato City.

The 6th Infantry Division and the Joint Task Force Central (JFTC)’s Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) Management Program continues to accept surrendered firearms from local residents.

Over the weekend, three high-powered firearms were voluntarily surrendered by residents to Barangay Chairman Akmad Orak of Tamontaka 1. The firearms included one 60mm mortar, two M14 rifles, and two magazines.

Orak turned over the surrendered firearms to Lt. Col. Lester Mark C. Baky, Commander of the Marine Battalion Landing Team – 5.

“Ang matagumpay na turnover ay bunga ng patuloy na Information and Education Campaign ng JTFC at 6ID hinggil sa SALW Management Program. Layunin nitong itaguyod ang mas ligtas na komunidad at maiwasan ang mga insidente ng karahasan na dulot ng paggamit ng mga di-lisensyadong armas, lalo na at papalapit ang lokal at national eleksyon,” said the 6ID.

“Ang layunin ng SALW Management Program ay tiyakin ang seguridad at kapayapaan sa ating mga komunidad. Ang patuloy na pagsuko ng mga loose firearms ay patunay ng pagtutulungan ng mga lokal na opisyal at mga mamamayan para sa isang mas ligtas na Cotabato City. Sa kooperasyong ito, inaasahan nating makakamit natin ang matatag na kaunlaran at kapayapaan para sa lahat. Ang bawat hakbang patungo sa pagsuko ng mga armas ay isang hakbang din patungo sa mas maliwanag na kinabukasan ng lungsod,” added Major General Antonio G. Nafarrete, Division Commander of the 6ID and JTFC.
