Philippine Army (PA) commander Lt. Gen. Hernando DCA
Iriberri handed over government financial assistance to the families and loved
of the three fallen 701st Infantry Brigade soldiers who died while defending
the Mati City Police Station, Davao Oriental against New People's Army (NPA)
attack last Feb. 15.
This was made possible as Iriberri visited 701st Infantry
Brigade headquarters in Sitio Magay, Barangay Don Martin Marundan, Mati City
Financial assistance amounted to Php149,000 per family.
The money was handed by Iriberri to the families of the late
Cpl. Aden A. Lucunan, Pfc. Daniel T. Damansila, Pfc. Will Christian S. Resuello
and Pvt. Ryan M. Amigo.
Aside from this, the PA chief also personally award medals
to deserving soldiers for the successful conduct of combat operations against
the NPA in a simple but meaningful ceremony.
Iriberri also scored the rebel group for its continued use
of landmines against civilian and military, adding that this highlights
disrespect of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and
International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) which they have agreed and signed.
“If the NPAs cannot abide by the mandates provided for in
the CARHRIHL, then it also implies that they disregard the protection of human
rights. We condemn to the highest degree the NPA’s continued use of these
banned war materials,” Iriberri concluded.
