4ID Honors the Heroism of Wounded Soldiers in Impasug-ong Encounter
CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City — The 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division, Philippine Army proudly honors the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of our soldiers who were recently wounded in the line of duty during an operation at the hinterland of Brgy Hagpa, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon against the NPA remnants yesterday, May 23, 2025.
Acting on a tip from concerned residents, troops of the 28th Infantry Battalion swiftly responded to reports of ongoing extortion in the area. Their prompt action disrupted the illegal activities and forced the NPA terrorists to scamper away, abandoning their criminal plans.
“Despite sustaining injuries while protecting the lives and freedom of others, these four soldiers under the 28th Infantry Battalion exemplified the highest standards of duty, resilience, and patriotism.” Said Major General Michele B. Anayron Jr., Commander of 4ID, PA.
“There is a situation that needs to be addressed. These remaining terrorists have been a persistent threat, disrupting peace and endangering the well-being of the local population for decades now.”
Tactical Operations Group 10 and medical team were to deployed to conduct tactical combat casualty care and to immediately evacuate all wounded aboard black hawk helicopters.
“Medical teams are working around the clock to ensure our soldiers receive the best care possible.” MGen Anayron added
“We also ask the public to keep our wounded soldiers in their thoughts and prayers. Their recovery will take time, but their heroism will forever serve as an inspiration to our nation.”
Pursuit operations remain underway to neutralize the remaining threat.
