Capt. Al Anthony
Pueblas, 36th Infantry Battalion (36IB) civil military officer (CMO) identified
the victim as Kring Salahay Tagunsod a.k.a. “Che-che,” a resident of
kilometer 7, Barangay Hinapuyan, Carmen town, adjacent municipality two
kilometers down north.
The army CMO
bared that the victim serves as “medic” for guerilla front 30 (GF 30).
Upon learning of
the incident, 36IB Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Anastacio Suaybaguio,
Jr. condemned anew the rebel groups here for recruiting a minor.
It can be
recalled that last week, Suaybaguio has already condemned the acts of the NPA
when they used a landmine in an ambush set for a private vehicle; 17-year old
boy was hurt.
“Among gikondenar
ang rebeldeng NPA sa ilang padayon nga pagpang-rekrut ug paggamit sa mga
kabatan-unan sa armadong pakigbisog (We condemned the NPA rebels for keeping on
enlisting and employing the youths I their armed struggle),” the battalion
commander said.
“Ang atong
kabatan-unan maoy kaugmaon sa atong nasud apan giguba lamang kiisa walay pulos
nga idelohiya sa rebeldeng NPA (The youths are the hope of our nation only that
they are ruined because of the nonsense ideology of the NPA),” the army
official added.
Reportedly, the
Charlie Company platoon led by 2Lt. Payanglo was conducting a security/pursuit
operation when encountered some 15 NPA rebels that lasted for about a quarter
of an hour which left “Che-che” dead whose companions scampered to safety,
according to Pueblas
