BUTUAN CITY – A New People’s Army (NPA) rebel was killed and guns and bullets were captured in encounters in Esperanza, Agusan del Sur and Impasug-ong, Bukidnon recently.
Army 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office chief Major Francisco P. Garello Jr. said troops under the 4th ID are continuously running after the communist guerrillas in Agusan del Sur and Bukidnon.
“We will reach out to the family so that the dead NPA will have decent burial. We remain committed to the respect of human rights and highly value the sacredness of a body of human being, contrary to the communist terrorist group’s criminal actions in abandoning their dead comrade as if it’s nothing after using and pushing him to his grave,” Majarocon stressed.
Bacus said residents reported the presence of NPA rebels in the hinterland area since last week and troops were sent to find them. Brig. Gen. Michele B. Anayron Jr., commanding general of the 403rd Brigade, lauded field troops for neutralizing the already dwindling communist movement even further.
