Posted to Kalinaw News (Apr 29, 2021): Residents of Enrique B. Magalona, Negros Occidental condemn CPP-NPA terrorist atrocities
SAGAY CITY, Negros Occidental – Hundreds of residents of Barangay Consing, Enrique B. Magalona, Negros Occidental staged a condemnation rally against CPP-NPA Terrorists over the killing of Barangay Tanod Elmer Ortencio before his interment at a public cemetery in Brgy XIV, Victorias City, Negros Occidental on April 25, 2021.
The family, friends, local residents and the barangay officials of Consing strongly condemned the inhumane and unjust act of CPP-NPA Terrorists in killing Ortencio.
Aside from the local populace, representatives from the Youth for Peace Northern Negros Chapter, ACT-CIS, Guardians and other organizations also joined the condemnation rally.
Locals at the rally held up banners and placards calling for an end to the killings, harassments, extortion and deception of civilians by the communist terrorist group, expressing their extreme anger towards the CPP-NPA Terrorists.
Ortencio was abducted by armed individuals on the afternoon of April 13, 2021 and was found dead at a bamboo plantation hours later with a gunshot wound in the head in Hacienda Margarita, Brgy Consing, Enrique B. Magalona, Negros Occidental.
Lieutenant Colonel Gerard T Alvaran, Commander, 79th Infantry Battalion expressed his support to the move of the local residents in the area.
“We in the Philippine Army appreciate the effort of the barangay officials and the local populace in condemning the atrocities made by the communist terrorists,” said Lt. Col Alvaran.
“This incident is another wake up call to all Negrenses to shun whatever support they have to CPP-NPA. Do not be deceived by their twisted ideology. Let us join hands and continue our efforts to unmask the true character of the CPP-NPA and finally put an end to the abuses and violence of these terrorist groups,” Alvaran added.
Meanwhile, Colonel Inocencio Pasaporte, Commander, 303rd Infantry Brigade said, “The activity only goes to show that our locals are already aware of the deceptive tactics of CPP-NPA Terrorists in the area. Thus, they are now actively participating in the government’s thrusts in restoring peace and bringing development and progress in the locality. Nevertheless, your Army along with the PNP, local government units and agencies and concerned civil society organizations will be here to assist our communities towards its development or be it against the predatory moves of the CPP-NPA Terrorists.”
