Vice President and presidential aspirant Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Wednesday expressed her support to the military’s campaign to dismantle threat groups in her visit to the headquarters of the Armed Forces Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom).
Robredo, who was in Mindanao for two days visiting different provinces for her election campaign, made a short visit to the Westmincom in Zamboanga City where she was received by the area command’s top brass led by Lt. Gen. Alfredo Rosario Jr. and Naval Forces Western Mindanao commander Rear Admiral Toribio Adaci Jr.
Westmincom spokesman Major Andrew Linao said that during her talks with Rosario and other commanders, Robredo commended the military’s contribution to the peace and development in Western Mindanao.
“According to VP Leni, she has observed noticeable improvements in the peace and order situation and developments in the communities during her visit to the different municipalities in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Basilan,” Linao said.
“She also gave her full support to the military’s campaign on dismantling the remaining terror groups in the region,” he added.
While at the camp, the Vice President donated antigen test kits and other medical supplies to Camp Navarro General Hospital.
Linao said Rosario expressed his gratitude to Robredo for taking time to visit the command.
“It is our great honor to be visited by the Vice President of our country and to hear her words of encouragement and commendation,” the spokesman quoted Rosario as saying.
