Despite the series of harassment conducted by communist New
Peoples’ Army in North Cotabato against the
Army and civilians, the military is offering a “hand of peace” this Christmas,
an Army official said.
Speaking to a local radio station, Colonel Nilo Vinluan,
commander of the 57th Infantry Battalion, appealed to the NPA to silence their
guns to allow peaceful Christmas celebrations.
The past days, the communist rebels launched a series of
road side bombings that left government forces and civilians either killed or
wounded.
Vinluan said like the soldiers, the NPAs are also Filipinos
and fighting and killing each other was a nonsense thing.
He made the appeal days after the NPA set off road side
bombs that wounded an Army captain and his subordinate.
The NPA is yet to respond to the Army’s invitation.
