Our young brave hero was a native of Kibawe, Bukidnon and the eldest son in his family.

The late Cpl Premark Vallecer was assigned with the 21st Infantry Battalion of the 11th Infantry Division, Philippine Army giving service to the Filipino people in Southern Mindanao area particularly in Patikul, Sulu.
He was one of the 11 soldiers who offered their lives protecting the community against the ASG during a fierce firefight which lasted for an hour in the hinterlands of Sitio Lubong, Barangay Danag, Patikul, Sulu last April 17, 2020.
Mauro Vallecer, the father, said in his humble tone, “dako among pasalamat sa mga sundalo sa 4ID kay wala jud mi nila pasagdi. Gikan sa among balay paingun sa airport ila jud ming giatiman bisan ug dili sa 4ID na-assign akong anak (We are thankful to the soldiers of 4ID for taking care of us and for facilitating our safe travel from our home going to the airport. We truly appreciate their efforts considering that our son was not from the said division). We agreed to let his remains be buried in the Heroes’ Cemetery even though it will be hard for the family to visit him because it was his (Premark) wish even before he entered the military service.”
MGen Franco Nemesio Gacal, Commander of 4ID, expressed his sincerest condolences to the bereaved family and assured them that their son, late Cpl Premark Vallecer, is a hero for his selfless service to God, country, and the Filipino people.
"The diamond troopers mourn the loss of a young brother, a noble soldier, whose actions in the field serve as an inspiration to all of us. In a simple but meaningful way, we offer our final salute and honor his deeds," Gacal ended.
