520 _a"The CEMCOM Story : The Day We Nearly Lost Mindanao reveals another heroic feat of the Armed Forces of The Philippines, particularly that of the Central Mindanao Command (CEMCOM). In this unique piece of literature, the then CEMCOM commanding General, MGEN FORTUNATO U. ABAT (Ret.) reveals the crucial role played by the CEMCOM in arresting efforts of the Muslim Secessionist Movement to establish a separate Bangsa Moro Republic in Southern Philippines. It is discloses the systematic manner - from the planning stages up to the actual operations - by which MGEN ABAT and his men successfully contained hostilities in that region. There are two main reasons why it would be profitable for us to read this book: first, it will impress upon us our heritage of heroism - proud heritage that will inspire us to preserve the gains of those who came before us; and second, it will educate us on the the rudiments of the anti-secessionist campaign which we can use, or improve on, in addressing similar contigencies. Doubtless, CEMCOM's exploits contributed in upholding the integrity as a sovereign republic. Assuredly, those episodes of valor, as narrated in this book, shall continue to do so, especially if younger generations of Filipino soldiers will take to heart the lessons they teach." --Forewored
