Camp Bancasi, Butuan City – The area command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yesterday widened its search and rescue operations for four tribesmen and Army soldier who were abducted on different occasions in the hinterland borders of Compostela Valley (ComVal), Davao del Norte, Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental.
Danilo Angcomog, Laris Landakay, Jovanie Angcomog, and Kalumpot Dalon were in Sitio Bulo, Barangay Dagohoy, Talaingod town, Davao del Norte to help in settling a tribal feud when they were seized by heavily armed men.
The abduction of these tribal leaders had been blamed by the AFP on the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People’s Army (NPA).
On other hand, Pfc. Adonis Jess Lupiba was also taken by the communist insurgents when the rebels attacked a team of soldiers belonging to the 58th Infantry Battalion (58th IB) in the mountain barangay of Alagatan in Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental on July 11.
Church leaders in Northern Mindanao have already issued an appeal to President Aquino to order the suspension of military, police operations (SOMO, SOPO) to facilitate the safe release of the abducted Army soldier held captive by the NPA after field commanders of the AFP said their search and rescue operations will continue without let up.
The military yesterday vowed to help rescue the four tribal leaders and the abducted Army soldier by suspected communist rebels.
“Our ground troops will continue their search and rescue operation and we are determined to get back the victims from the hands of the NPA bandits,” stressed regional Army spokesman of the Northeastern and Northern Mindanao 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division (4th ID).
