The Armed Forces of the Philippines’ 3rd Infantry Division launched an early morning air strike using FA-50 jet fighters on Wednesday, December 1, in Sitio Burak, Barangay Alimodias, Miag-ao, Ilo-Ilo allegedly against a New People’s Army (NPA) unit.
BGen. Marion Sison, 301st Infantry Brigade commander, confirmed using artillery which according to reports from residents fired at least eight rounds near their community.
The Apolinario Gatmaitan Command of the New People’s Army Negros Island Regional Operation Command (AGC-NPA) strongly condemned what it called a “terroristic and bloodthirsty bombing” on a civilian community.
Ka Juanito Magbanua, AGC-NPA spokesperson, said that indiscriminate bombing of a community using overly powerful war weapons is a brutal crime and a violation of international humanitarian law.
He added that it caused grave terror among the residents and destroyed their houses and livelihood.
“This is a loathsome act and an inherent nature of AFP terrorism wherein lives of civilians are disregarded and put in danger in terms of their bloody and countless killings,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ka Bayani Obrero, National Democratic Front (NDF) – Negros spokesperson, expressed the deep outrage of the revolutionary movement in Negros over the recent “barbaric aerial bombardment and artillery shelling.”
“Dropping two 500-lb bombs and unleashing at least eight rounds of artillery shells near civilian communities were an extravagant display of cowardice of the 3rd Infantry Division,” he said. “Only bloodthirsty mass murderers like 3ID head Benedict Arevalo and 301st Brigade commander Marion Sison can be proud of these atrocities meant to sow terror.”
Obrero also noted the media blackout implemented by the AFP which to him further raised questions on what occurred during the bombing and how much devastation it caused.
Few media reports described two explosion craters measuring approximately 15 feet deep and 20 feet wide and 3 feet deep and 10 feet wide, respectively.
The Miag-ao bombing is the ninth aerial bombardment conducted by the AFP this year that brought fear and trauma mostly on peasant communities.###
