Comment: There's a blurb there where there's a mention of the CIG being reestablished in 2005. However, I can only go on to say that Gen. Brawner Jr. mentioned in public that the unit will be fully reestablished on December 21, 2023. This one's widely reported in Philippine media.

Open to alternate hooks.

Approved the first hook. Article length and age are good, copyvio and plagiarism free, source seems to be reliable. Hook is interesting, I personally find it interesting of the usage of "scalawags" in official communiques. QPQ done. I think orphan tags are allowed to exist for it to be presentable but it would be nice to get some links to the article if you have time, but it isn't an issue for the nom. Looks good to me :) PersusjCP (talk) 19:57, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
