Hot pursuit operations by the military and police are
ongoing against the heavily armed abductors of an army corporal over the
weekend, at a remote hinter municipality
of Agusan del Sur
Agusan del Sur Police reported Sunday to the regional police
headquarters here that about 30 fully armed men and five Amazons (female guerilla
members) abducted forcibly a member of the military at 9:00 a.m. Saturday at
Km. 16, Brgy. Policarpio, San Luis in Agusan del Sur.
Police investigation identified the victim as Corporal
Adriano Dela Pena Bingil, a member of the Alpha Company, 26th Infantry
Battalion of the Philippine Army and a Community Organizer for Peace and
Development squad team leader based at Mahagsay Patrol Base, Brgy. Mahagsay,
San Luis of the said province.
The police report said that Corporal Bingil was on his way
from his patrol base going to San Luis proper on board a black single Rusi
Motorcycle driven by a certain Elmer V. Gallerno. Their vehicle was among those
flagged down by the said armed group believed to be members of the Guerilla
Front 88 of the Northeastern Mindanao Revolutionary Committee (NEMRC) led by an
unknown leader which had conducted a checkpoint at the said place.
The armed men commanded the victim to disembark from his
motorcycle and took and examined the content of his wallet. Upon knowing that
the victim was a member of the AFP based on the identification card found in
his wallet, his hands were bound and took him with them as they escaped towards
the hinter area of the said town. The other motorists however, were released
unharmed.
Upon the receipt of the report, San Luis Municipal Police
Station immediately coordinated with the 26th IB, PA and the barangay officials
of the area to gather information on the status, location and whereabouts of
the victim.
PCSupt. Vert T. Chavez, Caraga PNP chief in a local radio
interview this morning said that he had already directed the Agusan del Sur
Police Provincial Office to coordinate with the AFP in the area towards the
resolution of the incident and the safe release of the abducted army corporal.
Furthermore, personnel from the Alpha Company of the 26th IB are also presently
conducting hot pursuit operations for the possible neutralization of the armed
group and the safe release of the victim.
