CAMP MARCELO ADDURU, Tuguegarao City -- A police officer who was killed in a gun battle with New People’s Army rebels in San Guillermo, Isabela province last Monday, was posthumously promoted and awarded a heroism medal on Thursday.
Brig. Gen. Angelito Casimiro, Cagayan Valley acting police regional director, said Patrolman Henry Gayaman is a “revered hero who risked and lost his life to help achieve peace and order.”
“The whole police organization mourns the loss of our comrade who displayed bravery and gallantry and offered the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty,” Casimiro told reporters during his visit at the slain cop's wake at their house in Aglipay, Quirino Province.
Gayaman’s immediate relatives also received financial assistance aside from the death and other benefits from the Office of the President, Public Safety Mutual Benefit Fund Inc. (PSMBFI), PNP Special Financial Assistance and Napolcom fund.
Casimiro also visited the three policemen -- Patrolman Alfred Taliano, Patrolman Stephen Olosan and Police Corporal Eddie Boy Vinasoy -- who were wounded in Monday's clash, at the United Doctors Medical Center in Cauayan City, Isabela. Along with Gayaman, they are members of the Philippine National Police's 205th Maneuver Company-Regional Mobile Force Battalion 2 operating in Cagayan Valley.
Casimiro also awarded the wounded police personnel with a Medalya ng Sugatang Magiting (PNP Wounded Medal) and gave financial assistance to the three policemen “who displayed gallantry during the said encounter”.
