As part of the 8th Infantry Division's strategic transition from counter-insurgency operations to territorial defense following the official declaration of Southern Leyte as an Insurgency-Free Province, operational responsibility for peace sustainment has been deliberately devolved to the Reserve Force as the designated lead element.

In ex*****on of this directive, personnel of the 805th Community Defense Center led by LTC ARTURO M DUMALAGAN (INF) PA, Charlie Company of the 805th Ready Reserve Infantry Battalion under 2LT NOEL CRUZADA, and CMO Company commanded by 1LT ROBERT S PACLEB (INF) PA deployed in support of the Southern Leyte Caravan: Moving Initiatives and Actions Nearer to All Southern Leyteños.

This Southern Leyte Provincial Caravan delivers essential government services directly to constituents. The current engagement projects support to approximately 1,500 beneficiaries from Barangay Lipanto, Barangay Hindag-an, and host Barangay Himbangan, all within St. Bernard, Southern Leyte.ñ

Message of Commitment
As a proud native of Southern Leyte, standing before you today as the Director of the Army Reserve Force is more than just a duty—it is a homecoming. Seeing our beloved province officially declared as having Stable Internal Peace and Security (SIPS) fills me with an overwhelming sense of pride and relief. We are finally free from the shadows of insurgency that once hindered our growth.
This milestone is not the end of our mission, but the beginning of a new chapter. I personally commit that your Reserve Force will remain a steadfast guardian of this hard-earned peace. We will transition from combat-ready support to active partners in community building and disaster resilience.
To my fellow Southern Leyteños: your safety is my personal vow. We will ensure that the seeds of conflict never find soil here again. Together, let us cultivate a future where progress flourishes in every municipality.
Padayon, Southern Leyte!

From the shores of Mactan to the vast horizon of the West Philippine Sea, the spirit of courage lives on.
We remember the bravery of our forefathers—when one stood, a nation rose. Today, that same fire burns within us. The fight is not just history—it is our duty, our identity, our stand.
We do not waver.
We do not retreat.
We defend what is ours.
One Nation. One Stand. Then and Now.
“Where courage once drew the line, we now stand to protect it.”

On April 25, 2026, at around 9:00 AM, courage and compassion were put into action. Personnel from 805CDC, 8RCDG, RCPA, and 805RRIBn came together to assist a female rider involved in an accident at Brgy. San Isidro, Malitbog, Southern Leyte.
In moments like this, rank and uniform fade—what remains is the true mission: to serve, to protect, and to save lives.
A reminder that heroes don’t always wear capes—sometimes, they arrive ready, steady, and willing to help when it matters most. 🚑💙 805 Laang Kawal CDC 8th Regional Community Defense Group Kapitan Burnok Memento Vivere Reserve Command, Philippine Army Philippine Army

Evidence of an armed encounter and adherence to the Rule of Law, International Humanitarian Law and Rules of Engagement underscore the priority given to civilian safety.

Huwag malinlang ❌ Ang tunay na kaaway ng kapayapaan ay ang mga nanlilinlang at nagre-recruit sa dilim.

Hindi kaming AFP ang tunay na kalaban!

Panagutin ang mga recruiter ng ating mga Kabataan na sumampa sa bundok, humawak ng baril at maging NPA ❌
