The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday has
strongly condemned the abduction of three police officers by New People's Army
(NPA) brigands in the province of Bukidnon last April 3.
In a statement, PNP Spokesperson Chief Supt. Wilben Mayor
tagged the NPA's kidnapping of SPO4 Rene Rombo, SPO1 Warren Hansol Coñales and
PO3 Edwin Panis Castor at Sayre
Highway as an unlawful act.
"We ask the New People’s Army for the immediate release
of our fellow police officers as they are also, like ordinary people have their
own family to look into," Mayor said in a statement.
"Just like all citizens, these policemen deserve the
guaranteed right to life and liberty. These police officers are but citizens
who are working for the improvement of the standard of living of the people in
Region 10," he added.
Mayor also said that all personnel are reminded to observe
personal security measures to prevent becoming victims of similar atrocities.
"As efforts are being exerted to ensure the safe
release of these kidnapped policemen, our primary concern is the safety of the
community. We assure the kin of these policemen that the PNP will exhaust all
possible means to bring them back," he noted.
Mayor also said that the PNP asks the public to provide the
police with relevant and timely information regarding presence of Communist
Terrorist in their area thru (twitter accounts: @PNPhotline and @pnp.pio; and
facebook page: Philippine National Police) or thru contact numbers Dial 117,
Text 2920, and Isumbong Mo Kay Tsip 09178475757.
