BATCOM condemns NPA anew for risking “minor” in
clash vs. army in SurSur, 1 killed
By Greg Tataro Jr.
TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur, Mar. 13 (PIA) – A
17-year old female member of the New People’s Army (NPA) was killed on Thursday
morning, March 12, in a clash against army troopers in Kilometer 7, Barangay
Pakwan, Lanuza town, 43 kilometers north, this city.
Capt. Al Anthony Pueblas, 36th Infantry Battalion
(36IB) civil military officer (CMO) identified the victim as Kiring Salahay
Tagunsolod aka “Che-Che,” a resident of Purok 4, Barangay Hinapuyan, Carmen
town, an adjacent municipality two kilometers down south.
The army CMO bared that the victim serves as
“medic” for Guerilla Front 30 (GF 30).
Upon learning of the incident, 36IB Battallion
Commander Lt. Col. Anastacio Suaybaguio, Jr. condemned anew the rebel groups
here for recruiting a minor.
It can be recalled that last week, Suaybaguio has
already condemned the acts of the NPA when they used a landmine in an ambush
set for a private vehicle; a 17-year old boy was hurt.
“Among gikondenar ang rebelding NPA sa ilang
padayon nga pagpang-rekrut ug paggamit sa mga kabatan-unan sa armadong
pakigbisog (We condemn the NPA rebels for keeping on enlisting and employing
the youths in their armed struggle),” the battalion commander said.
“Ang atong kabatan-unan maoy kaugmaon sa atong
nasud apan giguba lamang kini sa walay pulos nga idelohiya sa rebeldeng NPA
(The youths are the hope of our nation only that they are ruined because of the
nonsense ideology of the NPA),” the army official added.
Reportedly, the Charlie Company platoon led by
2LT. Payangdo was conducting a security/pursuit operation when it encountered
some 15 NPA rebels that lasted for about a quarter of an hour which left
“Che-Che” dead whose companions scampered to safety, according to Pueblas.
