PH Army to tap reservists for border control ops in NegOcc

More than ever the reservists are going to play a major role in the government’s pursuit to stop the spreading of the coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19.

The Philippine Army(PA) in Region VI specifically in Negros Occidental will activate reservists to assist government troops in guarding the boundaries of the province and its capital city here as a part of the measures to protect the Negrenses against the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

The 303rd Infantry Brigade based in Murcia town will render support for the directive of Governor Eugenio Lacson to seal and protect the borders, and when the troops need augmentation, the reservists will provide assistance, this according to Col. Inocencio Pasaporte its current commander.

“The border control between the two provinces is our primary task. We have tasked our battalions to man the different entry and exit points between Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental,” he added.

Pasaporte, said the sealing of the borders will take on toll to the government troops since it would last 30 days,so it is important to activate and engage the help from the untap services that can be rendered by the reservists. “We will tap our reservists to augment the troops in Bacolod City,” he said.
