The Cagayan De Oro-based 4th Infantry Division on Wednesday
announced that the suspects behind the atrocities which resulted in the death
of three persons in Lianga, Surigao Del Sur last week are not members of the
military and government supervised militia groups.
This was based on the investigations conducted by the
Philippine National Police (PNP), 4th Infantry Division public affairs office
chief Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez
"After a thorough investigation conducted by the PNP,
the perpetrators of the recent incident in Brgy. Diatagon, Lianga, Surigao Del
Sur were already identified and cases have been filed before the Provincial
Prosecutors Office in Lianga, Surigao Del Sur (last) Sept, 7, 2015," he
added.
Based from the PNP report, the suspects were identified as
Bobby Tejero, Loloy Tejero, and Garito Layno and 20 John Does.
They were charged with grave coercion, multiple murder,
arson, robbery, and grave threats.
Based on 4th Infantry Division’s record, the above-mentioned
personalities were not included in the roster of its CAFGU Active Auxiliary
(CAA) personnel.
“The AFP adheres to the Law of the land. As provided for in
the Constitution to wit: Providing for the Citizen Armed Force whose main
function is to protect their communities against any threat group that are
disturbing the socio-economic activities and the peaceful-living of our people.
The CAA is the only legitimate force being supervised by the AFP. Other armed
groups shall be the subject of Law Enforcement Operations conducted by the
PNP,” Martinez
