From the Philippine Information Agency (May 14): Gingoog city Mayor pushes call for peace
Underscoring the importance in attaining unity and progress,
Gingoog City Mayor Ruth de Lara Guingona calls for peace and making nonviolent
solutions to conflicts.
This was in line with the recent encounter of the 403rd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army - 58th Infantry Battalion (58thIB) and the New People’s Army (NPA) on May 12 this year at sitio Mangilit in barangay Bal-ason, having two casualties of the armed group.
The Mayor’s peace call is gaining massive support from the affected communities across the city.
The successful operation was due to the joint efforts of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the overwhelming support of the local populace, said Mayor Guingona.
She also cited AFP’s intensified efforts in securing the city from lawlessness and violence.
Meanwhile, Col. Francisco Pabayo heads the 403Bde as the commanding officer while Lt. Col. Jose Eriel Niembra for 58thIB.
