Three members of the Dawlah Islamiya-Hassan Group (DI-HG) have turned themselves in to authorities in North Cotabato, citing hardships and a desire to live peacefully with their families as reasons for surrender. The military reported their surrender on Friday, November 1, 2024.

The three men, identified only by their aliases—Marco, Midnight, and DTR—surrendered to the Philippine Army’s 90th Infantry Battalion (90IB) on October 30 in Carmen, a town in North Cotabato. As a gesture of sincerity in abandoning their militant activities, they handed over two M-14 rifles and a Carbine rifle to military personnel.

According to the 90IB, the former insurgents shared that harsh conditions within the Dawlah Islamiya faction prompted their decision to leave the group, which they described as pursuing "bad intentions."

The local government of Carmen welcomed the former rebels warmly, holding a presentation ceremony at Camp Locero, home to the 602nd Infantry Brigade. Officials provided each surrenderer with immediate assistance, including cash aid and a sack of rice, and pledged additional support through livelihood programs designed to help them start anew.

In a press briefing at Camp Aguinaldo, Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad, spokesperson for the Philippine Navy (PN) in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), highlighted the surge in multilateral maritime activities since the formal announcement of the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC) in February.

"So after the launching, the statement of the SND (Secretary of National Defense Gilberto Teodoro Jr.) on the CADC, there has been a dramatic increase in the activities in the WPS by the Armed Forces with our partners and allies," Trinidad said.

This year alone, the PN has engaged in at least ten multilateral exercises, up from just three last year.

"These include ships from different countries, including Australia, New Zealand, European powers, Japan, the US, and others," he added.

Trinidad emphasized that these engagements extend beyond naval operations, encompassing air and ground activities as well as disaster response efforts.

"Before the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine, we were able to receive a lot of international support from ASEAN countries and the US, and we could attribute this to our international engagements with them," Trinidad said.

While he did not disclose specifics about future activities, he reassured that the PN plans to continue expanding its international collaborations, adhering to guidelines set by DND Secretary Teodoro.

Furthermore, Trinidad highlighted the significant participation of partner nations, emphasizing that they are deploying their most capable naval vessels, including capital ships.

"Last time, we had the aircraft carrier of Italy and major ships from European powers. So this is a good indicator that the international community is supportive of international law in this part of the globe," he concluded.

Military aircraft from Singapore and Malaysia touched down in the Philippines on Saturday, offering critical support for ongoing relief operations following the devastation caused by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine.

A Republic of Singapore Air Force C-130 cargo aircraft and a Royal Malaysian Air Force Eurocopter EC725 transport helicopter arrived at Villamor Air Base to aid the Philippine Air Force (PAF) in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) efforts, particularly in areas hardest hit by the storm.

The Department of National Defense said that the contributions from Singapore and Malaysia will be instrumental in augmenting resources and enhancing coordination in the distribution of relief supplies, evacuation support, and medical services.

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. was present to welcome the international reinforcements, accompanied by Malaysian Ambassador Dato Abd Malik Castelino, Singaporean Ambassador Constance See, and PAF Commanding General LtGen Stephen Parreño.

The PAF’s HADR operations have been underway since the storm hit earlier this week, causing severe flooding, extensive power outages, and forcing thousands from their homes.

The addition of the C-130 and EC725 aircraft will allow for increased transport of goods, deployment of rescue personnel, and broader access to communities in remote and heavily impacted regions.

Both aircraft are expected to conduct multiple missions over the coming days as weather permits, with Singapore and Malaysia’s support marking a significant boost to relief efforts and showcasing regional unity in times of crisis.

Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief General Romeo Brawner Jr. conducted an aerial survey over Bula, Milaor, and Naga City in Camarines Sur on Monday to assess the extensive damage inflicted by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine.

According to the AFP, the inspection aimed to provide a clearer understanding of the storm's impact and guide immediate response efforts for affected communities.

Following the survey, Brawner traveled to Barangay Duran in Balatan town, where he spearheaded the distribution of essential relief goods to local residents who had been heavily impacted by the severe weather. The relief operation formed part of a wider government-led initiative to deliver prompt support to communities displaced by the storm.

"The visit underscores the AFP’s commitment to assisting the Filipino people in need. The AFP continues to monitor the situation closely and is committed to providing the necessary assistance to help these communities recover and rebuild in the wake of (Severe Tropical Storm) Kristine," the AFP said.

Local officials praised the AFP's swift actions, noting that relief distribution was vital for residents who had lost their homes and access to basic necessities. For many in the affected areas, this support represents a crucial first step toward stability as recovery efforts continue.

The Philippine Air Force (PAF) welcomed critical support with the arrival of a Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAirF) C-295 aircraft at Col Jesus Villamor Air Base on October 27, 2024, a reinforcement that will bolster ongoing Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) efforts in areas severely impacted by Tropical Storm Kristine.

The newly arrived Bruneian C-295 aircraft will significantly enhance the PAF’s capacity to reach remote and storm-affected communities across the Philippines. With its ample cargo space and robust design, the C-295 is well-suited for delivering essential relief supplies to regions cut off by severe flooding and infrastructure damage caused by Tropical Storm Kristine.

Severe Tropical Storm Kristine has left multiple provinces grappling with widespread devastation, affecting thousands of families and leaving many in urgent need of aid.

PAF officials expressed deep gratitude to Brunei’s military leadership, recognizing the RBAirF’s timely response as “invaluable” to the country’s disaster response efforts.

“The Brunei C-295 aircraft will play a crucial role in enhancing the PAF’s Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) operations as it joins relief efforts in areas affected by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine,” the PAF said.

"The additional aircraft bolsters the PAF’s capability to reach and support affected communities, providing essential supplies and assistance," it added.

As the Philippines continues to navigate the aftermath of Tropical Storm Kristine, the partnership with Brunei offers more than just material aid; it demonstrates a commitment to collective resilience.

While the RBAirF’s aircraft is currently focused on storm relief, its presence signals broader possibilities for future joint HADR initiatives and reinforces ties within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

An army convoy delivering essential aid to residents of Albay, ravaged by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine, came under attack on Sunday by suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels, leaving one soldier injured.

The ambush took place in Barangay Matanglad, Pio Duran, during a clash between soldiers from the 49th Infantry Battalion and approximately ten NPA rebels.

According to Major Frank Roldan, spokesperson for the Philippine Army's 9th Infantry Division, the encounter lasted around 15 minutes, resulting in minor injuries to a soldier’s left leg due to an anti-personnel mine— a weapon prohibited under international humanitarian law.

Roldan expressed concern over reports that the NPA rebels had also been seizing relief supplies from residents struggling with severe food shortages in their areas due to the storm's aftermath.

"Dahil kay Kristine, wala na din sila makain sa mga area nila," Roldan said, alluding to the desperation that may be driving such actions.

In a statement condemning the assault, Philippine Army spokesperson Colonel Louie Dema-ala characterized the ambush as "cowardly interference," underscoring the NPA's disregard for civilians in crisis.

Dema-ala appealed to the public to report any threats from armed groups and assured communities that the Philippine Army (PA) remains committed to safeguarding public safety and ensuring aid reaches those in need.
