Three soldiers assigned to the 41st Civil-Military
Operations Company filed physical injuries and robbery charges against the
leader and members of KARAPATAN in Surigao Del Sur Friday.
Charged were Eliza Rodriquez Panganiban and still
unidentified members of her group.
This was disclosed by 4th Infantry Division public affairs
office chief Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez
The charges were in wake of the Sept. 13 incident where
Panganiban and her companions allegedly assaulted Sgt. Lomer Ramoso, Pfc.
Gregorio Cabason and Pvt. Reymund Siluterio who were then having lunch at a
seafood restaurant in Lianga town, Surigao
Del Sur.
The attack stemmed from the mistaken belief that the three
were members of the Magahat Group reportedly behind the killing of three
persons in Barangay Diatagon, also in Lianga town, last Sept. 1.
KARAPATAN members reportedly went for the three troopers and
beat them badly.
Other members started grabbing their personal belongings
such as cellular phones, wallets, watches, and necklaces.
Police officers from the Lianga Municipal Station then
arrived at the scene and rescued the three and brought them to the station for
safety.
