4th ID supports DOJ probe on killing of IPs

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 29): 4th ID supports DOJ probe on killing of IPs

The Cagayan de Oro-based 4th Infantry Division has announced that it welcomes and supports the move of the Department of Justice on the creation of a Special Investigation Team which will look into the killing of three indigenous people at Sitio Han-ayan, Barangay Diatagon, Surigao del Sur last Sept. 1.

This was disclosed by 4th Infantry Division public affairs office chief Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez on Tuesday.

The Special Investigation Team that will initiate a “thorough and in-depth investigation and case-build-up” will once and for all separate the facts from propaganda.

"Also, it may look into the underlying currents that brought the conflict affecting our brother IPs living peacefully in their communities," Martinez said.

It can be recalled that the 4th Infantry Division assisted the Local Government Unit of Surigao del Sur, specifically the Peace and Order Council, on its fact- finding mission to aid the investigation.

It resulted to the establishment of Task Force "Tejero," a joint AFP-PNP law enforcement operation that is tasked to capture the perpetrators of the recent killing incidents in Surigao del Sur.
