The Eastern Mindanao Command on Friday condemned the New
People's Army (NPA) for abandoning the corpse of a slain rebel at the heavily
forested section of Sitio Totoy, Barangay San Jose, Monkayo town, Compostela Valley
The still unidentified body was discovered 8: 30 a.m. by
patrolling troopers on March 25.
Eastern Mindanao Command spokesperson Col.Romeo Brawner
believed that the slain rebel was killed during the March 24 encounter with the
25th Infantry Battalion and abandoned on the same day when it proved difficult
to transport him.
The corpse was turned over to the local government unit for
proper disposition.
Eastern Mindanao Command head Lt. Gen. Aurelio Baladad
slammed the bandits' disregard for the dignity of human life as well as the
sanctity of death.
"This is how they treat and exploit their own people.
They don’t have any concern for a wounded fellow and just let him die. The same
thing happened when the NPA bandits left their vice commander to die during
their failed attack in Mati, Davao Oriental last month," he added.
"We are calling on our deceived brothers who are still
with the New People's Army for them to lay down their arms and live peaceful
and meaningful lives," Baladad concluded.
