ILOILO CITY, April 7 – The 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division led by Major General Eric Vinoya condemns in the strongest possible terms the treacherous attack of the CPP-NPA Terrorist against the soldiers who were conducting a security patrol and information dissemination in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic in Lambunao, Iloilo.
In a press release, Vinoya stressed “Instead of helping our people fight COVID-19 pandemic, these communist-terrorists are taking advantage of the situation to conduct atrocities distracting the COVID-19 efforts of our troops.”
“They are the ones violating their ceasefire, since they purposely left their lairs in the mountains and went down to the barangays where our troops are doing humanitarian activities,” he added.
Vinoya said that Lambunao town has a recorded number of positive COVID-19 cases, hence, Army troops in the area are doing everything to help contain the spread of the virus through awareness drive and manning the government-established quarantine control points.
“Here comes the terrorists, doing nothing but waiting for a perfect timing to destroy the COVID-19 efforts of the Lambunaonons, a clear violation of the ceasefire,” he said.
Earlier, 301st Infantry Brigade reported that one of its soldiers identified as Private First Class Mark S. Nemis of Madalag, Aklan made a supreme sacrifice while serving and protecting the people of Lambunao following the attack perpetrated by the communist-terrorists at Sitio Aguilan, Barangay Panuran, of the said town.
“Despite our loss, we will remain resolute in serving our people, especially in a situation like this where we are facing health crisis,” he stressed.
Vinoya added “ As we strengthen our COVID-19 efforts, we will also be intensifying our defensive action to protect our people from the menace of these terrorists, the true viruses of the society.” (JBG/DPAO-3ID-Philippine Army)
