NSFA, Panacan, Davao City (DWDD) – The 10th Infantry (Agila) Division note with grave concern the allegations of Save Our School Network (SOS) – SMR against soldiers of 67th and 66th Infantry Battalions for allegedly encamping inside a school building at Brgy Pagsabangan, New Bataan and with community households 10 meters from a school at Brgy Panansalan, Compostela town, both of Compostela Valley Province since Saturday, August 20, 2016.
The SOSN – SMR posted on their Facebook page the said allegations on Monday, August 22, 2016. The Headquarters 10th Infantry Division immediately directed the 67IB and 66IB to explain their side on the said allegations.
Per 67IB, they do not have any troops in the said areas as these are outside of their area of operations. It appears that these allegations of SOS-SMR against 67IB are unfounded, baseless and malicious.
Per document provided by 66IB, the temporary stay of their troops at Purok 3, Brgy Panansalan was permitted by Purok Chairman Artemio Magno. In the same document, the Purok Chairman also stated that the soldiers stayed away from the houses and school.
Other documents provided by 66IB and signed by Purok Chairman Rex Basta and Purok Secretary Nerisa Gollodo stated that the troops of 66IB were allowed by the Purok Chairman and the residents to enter and rest at Sitio Bongloy, Brgy Pagsabangan. In another document, Purok Secretary Nerisa Gollodo stated that the same troops did not occupy the Salugpungan school. A picture provided by 66IB showed the said Salugpungan school at a distance of about 100 meters from the position of the soldiers where the picture was taken.
As we have always said, the 10ID welcomes reports against our troops and encourages those who were victimized to file their complaints in appropriate agencies as we do not tolerate any misbehavior by our soldiers. We have time and again called on NDF-SMR – affiliated organizations to go beyond mere propaganda by filing charges against our misbehaving troops, so that we can purge our ranks of misfits. 10DPAO / MCAG
