CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City -– A top official of the army’s 4th Infantry Division here likened the New People’s Army rebels to the Abu Sayyaf group described by security authorities as terrorists.
Brig. Gen. Ricardo Visaya, commander of the army’s 4th ID, made the statement Thursday in recalling the ambush of the convoy of Gingoog city Mayor Ruthie Guingona in Misamis Oriental last week.
Visaya said the NPAs were like the "Abu Sayyaf terrorists, robbers, and bandits" although the descriptions were not enough.
He challenged the NPA rebels to take on the military rather than sow terror and anguish among innocent civilians.
Visaya, however, assured the people in his area that the military would continue to deliver its mandate as protector of the people.
“The NPAs' efforts to sow terror in the countryside would not hinder the military in pursuing its objective of attaining peace and protecting the well-being of the state and its people,” Visaya added.
