A MEMBER of Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu) was killed when the New People’s Army (NPA) mounted an attack on a detachment in Arakan, North Cotabato last week.
In a statement of 10th Infantry Agila Division, the slain Cafgu member was identified as Joel Batawan.
The attack also wounded Jonathan Lasoy, also part of the Cafgu Active Auxillaries of Salasang detachment in Barangay Sto. Niño, Arakan, North Cotabato.
Both Batawan and Lasoy were on their way home when the NPAs hit them.
The troops of 39th Infantry Battalion and police in Arakan immediately conducted pursuit operation. They were able to recover the bodies of two NPA members on Sept. 22, and brought them to Alojado Funeral Homes.
“Recovered from the possession of the two cadavers were a back pack containing BDA uniform, subversive documents and live ammunition of cal. 45 pistol,” cited the statement of the 10th Infantry Division.
Col. Roberto Ancan, 1002nd Infantry Brigade commander, in a statement urged the remaining NPA rebels to return to the folds of the law. “We believe that the lowly members of the NPA are being used to commit crimes and sow terror to the people by their communist leaders,” he added.
