The Zambales 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company (1PMFC) uncovered guns, ammunition, explosives and subversive documents from a communist terrorist group (CTG) at Brgy. Inhobol in the town of Masinloc, Zambales on 25 June 2026.

Coming from a tip from a CTG member, Provincial Director Police Col. Benjamin Ariola immediately ordered Zambales 1PMFC Chief Police Major Apolonio Ablan to confirm the information and inspect the said area.

With the help of the Masinloc MPS and the Provincial Explosive and Canine Unit, the group went to the said area where the war materiel were buried. The group found: 2 improvised shotgun (boga/sumpak); 123 pieces of ammo; 6 12-gauge shotguns; 20 magazines; explosives and detonator; 4 Rifle Grenade (High Explosive); 1 non-electric blasting cap with fuse-timer and detonating cord; 1 canister; 1 Bandolier; various tactical medic items; and subversive documents.

The said pieces of evidence are now under the custody of the Zambale 1st PMFC while the explosives are taken to the Zambales PECU.

"Nagpapasalamat po ako sa impormasyong ibinahagi ng ating kapatid na dating kasapi sa CTG. Dahil po rito ay nasamsam natin ang arms cache (bala, baril, at mga pampasabog) na ito na maari pa sanang makapanakit at makapanira. Sa atin pong mga kapatid na nagnanais nang bumalik sa yakap ng gobyerno, bukas po ang aming tanggapan para tulungan po kayo sa inyong bagong simula," Ariola said.
