NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, Nov. 11 (PIA6) -- The 303rd Infantry Brigade (IB) of the Philippine Army here remained unfazed and even challenged the Makabayan Bloc solons to a public debate following the latter’s proposal for a congressional inquiry.

303rd IB Commanding Officer Brig. Gen. Benedict Arevalo challenged the progressive groups’ solons to a public debate so the public will know who is telling the truth.

This, after state-security forces raided several offices of militant organizations in the cities of Bacolod and Escalante, and made several arrests and confiscations of suspected illegal firearms of different caliber, terrorist documents, among others.

With the congressional inquiry pushed by the Makabayan bloc solons, Arevalo dared them to do it now.

“The people are asking if they really know or not, that their organizations are supporting the CPP-NPA. And I challenge them to answer that in public instead of blabbering their usual red-tagging alibi,” Arevalo said.

Arevalo also urged Negrenses to be wary of these kinds of organizations since minors where among those found during the raids of the offices of these organizations.

“Do not be deceived by their fake advocacies or you may find yourselves in harm’s way as they try to lure several of their members to join or support the NPA just like what happened in the recent apprehensions,” Arevalo added. (PIA6)
