Army slams CPP-NPA terrorists for brutal killing of a civilian

From the Philippine Information Agency (Feb 1, 2019): Army slams CPP-NPA terrorists for brutal killing of a civilian

CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – The 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division, Philippine Army, condemned to the strongest possible terms the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) terrorist’s inhumane act of killing the civilian at Sitio Camandag, Brgy Carol-an, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental on January 29, 2019.

“The CPP-NPA terrorist once again, proved that they are the true human rights violators in Negros. Killing the innocent and defenseless civilian in front of his child is a heartless act that only terrorists do and it is a clear violation of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law on which the CPP-NPA-NDF is one of the signatories,” Major General Dinoh Dolina, the 3ID Commanding General said.

Dolina said, “we will not allow this terroristic act to happen again especially to the people whom we ought to defend. We will not stop to go against these Communist terrorists until justice is served to the families of the victims.”

Cornilio Morales, a village watchman of the aforementioned barangay, sustained multiple gunshot wounds after he was brutally killed in front of his daughter and other villagers.

Civilian witnesses positively identified the suspects as members of the CPP-NPA-terrorist and later confirmed upon seeing the pictures of the perpetrators from the military files.

Dolina also slammed human rights group “Karapatan” for keeping mum to the brutality of the CPP-NPA terrorist.

“Where are the Karapatan and other human rights groups? This is the right time for you to show up and prove that you are true human rights defenders. We are challenging you to conduct an impartial investigation and help the families of the victim attain justice. Come out and condemn the ruthlessness of the CPP NPA Terrorists,” he urged.

He also encouraged the religious sector particularly the social action centers to hear the cries of the mourning family of Morales and spend time with them and the community to find out the true nature of the communist terrorist group.

Dolina likewise called on the Negrenses to continue cooperating with the government troops by providing information and whereabouts of the CPP-NPA terrorists especially those who are behind yet another brutal crime to stop them from casting violence against the people.
