Showing his compassion for government forces who offered
lives in defense of Filipino people, President Rodrigo Duterte will visit
infantrymen wounded during government anti-drug operations in North
Cotabato last week.
It will be Pres. Duterte's second visit to this camp in his
first 50 days in office to propagate his determination and commitment to get
rid the country of illegal drugs.
The 6th Infantry Division public affairs office said the
President will arrive at past 12 noon to personally convey his compassion and
sympathy to wounded soldiers at Camp
Siongco Hospital
He is expected to pin wounded personnel medal to at least
eight soldiers slightly hurt when Moro lawless elements fired rifle grenades to
approaching lawmen in Barangay Nabalawag, Midsayap, North
Cotabato on Sunday dawn.
Five of the injured were identified as Sgt. Arinio Grafil,
Cpl. Diocesar Espanola, Pfc. Romnick Clerigo, Privates Normel Grande and Edgar
Gegone, all of the 6th Division Reconnaissance Company.
The President has already condoled with the family of Navy
Intelligence officer Darwin Espallardo who died during the anti-drug raid and
whose remains were brought to NAIA 3 Wednesday afternoon.
Espallardo, along with Army Corporal Jose Miravalles and PFC
Jaypee Duran, both of 6th ID, were killed in the ensuing fire fight against the
group of Moks Masgal, alias "Commander Mabrook."
Masgal, a former Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
leader, was engaged in illegal drug activities in North
Cotabato and Maguindanao.
The President is expected to reiterate his commitment to
totally get rid the country of illegal drugs.
