ILOILO CITY, April 7 (PIA) – The Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict in Western Visayas has condemned the atrocity committed by the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) Terrorist against the government troops in Lambunao, Iloilo, this morning, April 7.

In an official statement, it noted that “The RTF-ELCAC 6 is one with the Ilonggo community in condemning in the strongest possible terms the attack perpetrated by the CPP-NPA Terrorist against the Army troops that are conducting awareness drive in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.”

It added that the Philippine Army has been an active partner of the government’s whole-of-nation approach in delivering basic services to the people through the Retooled-Community Support Program (RCSP).

“Their presence in the area is vital to ensure that the services given by other government agencies will reach to the people who are living in the remote villages. Likewise, their active participation in combatting COVID-19 is deemed necessary especially in manning government-established quarantine control points,” the official statement said.

The RTF-ELCAC 6 also expressed its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family of our fallen soldier who made ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of peace and development in Panay.

The group likewise assured that it will extend necessary support to lessen the grief of the immediate family of the fallen soldier. (JBG-PIA/RTF-ELCAC6)
