A new book that contains the story of an important part of our history
00:04
was launched by an author and a member of the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency, UNICA.
00:09
Let's take a look at it.
00:13
The events of our past are becoming a part of our history.
00:20
Many parts of our history remain in our minds
00:24
and many of them are just a part of the memories of the past.
00:28
One of them is the incident of the MV Caragatan Arms Landing
00:32
at Digoyo Point in Isabela in 1972.
00:35
It was a ship that contained thousands of weapons
00:39
that were shipped to the Philippines
00:41
for the members of the Communist Party of the Philippines' New People's Army.
00:45
Many of us have forgotten or haven't been able to catch this event.
00:50
That's why it was told in a book
00:52
written by a journalist and author named Moya Molina
00:56
and launched by the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency.
01:01
There's this calling that if you know the history,
01:04
especially soldiers or police,
01:08
that I think can help our fellow Filipinos,
01:13
especially historians,
01:15
I will write it down.
01:18
The campaign of our government against the insurgency is intense.
01:24
Be attentive to cross.
01:26
I will catch the caragatan.
01:28
Do you see the caragatan?
01:30
The Director General of NICA was one of the soldiers
01:33
who was part of the success in stopping the insurgent groups from taking these weapons.
01:39
I was the commander.
01:42
I was the second lieutenant of the scout ranger.
01:45
This is the class 14, the pioneer class.
01:48
We were sent there.
01:50
We were replaced by another battalion
01:53
to pave the way for the landing of the marines.
01:58
When we returned, we were the ones who were recovered.
02:01
Four were killed.
02:03
When we arrived in the area,
02:05
we received requests for logistics and recovered over 1,000.
02:10
When we got the weapons,
02:12
we requested for support.
02:14
They were the ones who got the weapons.
02:16
They were with the provincial commander.
02:18
It is said that the MV Caragatan Arms Landing
02:21
was connected to the Plaza Miranda bombing and Martial Law
02:24
during the time of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
02:28
It is said that it was an arms landing to justify Martial Law.
02:34
It was not like that because there was really a firefight.
02:37
And the weapons were recovered from China.
02:41
The so-called part of our history
02:44
was not fully known by the public and our countrymen.
02:48
But it was a big part of the success of our country.
02:52
The significance of the Caragatan Arms Landing was that
02:55
there were about 3,000 M14.
02:58
Complete with all the ammunitions.
03:00
It could have been a turning point
03:02
if those weapons reached the armed groups in the NPA.
03:06
If not for the timely intervention
03:09
and we were able to get the weapons,
03:11
it could have been used to topple a government.
03:13
It was really meant to topple the government of Marcos, right?
03:18
So, if this happened, they were ready to take over
03:21
the Plaza Miranda bombing.
03:22
Then, why Martial Law?
03:25
Because at that time, it was very unruly
03:26
to save the democracy that we are all enjoying.
03:29
I really established in the book
03:32
what will happen when the present generation reads it.
03:36
They will learn from it.
03:39
Through the establishment of this story,
03:42
we can see the sacrifice of our countrymen,
03:46
police and soldiers
03:47
to maintain peace
03:50
and to take care of ourselves.
