BORONGAN CITY, Dec. 13 (PIA)-- In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, regional peace and order council chairman and Eastern Samar governor Ben P. Evardone condemned an attack against members of the PNP in Borongan City on December 13, 2019.
According to Evardone, “the provincial government is appalled at the heinous acts of terror,” which claimed the lives of a policeman and a civilian.
Five other policemen and four civilians were taken to the Eastern Samar Provincial Hospital after sustaining wounds from the firefight which happened at 2:30 PM in barangay Libuton.
The civilians were onboard a public utility tricycle plying the Borongan-San Isidro, San Julian route.
“We send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families at this incredibly difficult time,” Evardone’s statement read.
The governor thanked the police and emergency personnel, “as well as the private individuals who put their own lives at risk to selflessly help and protect others.”
According to him, the attack strengthens the provincial government’s resolve to bolster counterterrorism efforts and achieve real and lasting peace in Eastern Samar. (PIA- E. Samar)
