The
North Cotabato Police Provincial Office has recommended the promotion of 15
policemen of President Roxas town who successfully defended their post against
an attack by an estimated 100 New People’s Army (NPA)rebels earlier this week.
Sr.
Supt. Danny Peralta, provincial police director, said his office has submitted
an endorsement letter regarding the matter before Philippine National Police
Region 12 Director Chief Supt Lester Camba for approval.
Peralta
stressed that the courageous town cops, including their superior officer Sr.
Insp. Bernabe Rubio deserves a one-rank promotion for bravery on fending off
the rebels to overrun their station.
Apart
from Rubio who was grazed by a bullet in the head, no other cop was hurt during
the hour-long encounter that took place shortly before dawn last May 20 near
the town proper.
The
botched NPA assault left five rebels dead.
In
an interview by reporters, Department of Interior and Local Government
Secretary Manuel Roxas II also commended the gallantry demonstrated by the
police officers.
