In an interview by DWDD with Capt Rhyan Batchar, Public Affairs officer of the 10th ID, in response to the accusations, the leadership of the 66th at 67th IB sent documents and evidences in defense of their troops.

The 67th IB reiterated that thwey don’t have troop presence in the area since this is not part of their Area of Operations.

Meanwhile, the 66th IB admitted that they were in Sitio Bongloy, Brgy Panansalan on August 20, 2016 to rest.

They presented a document, prepared by Purok Secretary Nerisa Gollodo and duly signed by Purok Chairman Rex Basta, that they asked permission and was granted to enter and rest in the area.

Another document was furnished by the 66th IB, prepared by Ms Gollodo, stating that no soldier occupied the Salugpungan school 100 meters away, together wih photos.

Capt Batchar added that they welcome any complaints against any soldier for any wrongdoings, but this should be done through proper forums or venues, and not through media or social media, hopefully together with sufficient evidence.

Most complaints aired by such groups are usually tagged as propaganda and aimed at destroying the credibility of our soldiers, but nowadays, Filipinos are more wiser in relating to such facts. AES / MCAG
