Residents of Sitio Baclay, Barangay Bacolod, Milagros in Masbate drove away the 2nd IB headquarters established in the said sitio after residents raised complaints against it.

They expressed their disgust by banding together to petition the eviction of the military camp. They said the camp has caused nothing but trouble against their livelihood and fear from the presence of soldiers, especially among the youth.

The battalion forcefully reestablished its camp in Barangay Panicijan in Uson after other barangays refused to host them.
