The two Civilian Active Auxiliary (CAA) members who were abducted by the rebels a month ago but were released noontime Thursday, are now placed under custodial stress debriefing and medical examination at the headquarters of the 75th Infantry Battalion.
Col. Gregory Cayetano, 401st Brigade Commander, in a local radio interview Friday morning said the two Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU)members Ronald Isaga and Noel Martinez, were released by the custodial force of the New People's Army (NPA), believed to be of the Front Committee 14, operating in the provinces of Agusan del Sur and part of Surigao del Sur, at Sitio Mantuyom, Brgy. San Roque, Bislig City 12:00 noon Thursday. The two were said to be in good physical condition upon their release.
Col. Cayetano said in the same interview that they were not able to grant the rebels pre-condition for the release of the two captives, which is to momentarily suspend the military and police operations in the area. “We cannot stop our military operations since the mandate for suspension of such military operations should come from the national government. We cannot do that here in our own level,” Cayetano said.
However, the negotiations for the release of the two CAFGUs succeeded through the negotiating team headed by Agusan
The two CAFGUs will be allowed to return to their respective families after their debriefing and medical examination according to Cayetano.
