Visayas Command condemns death of Vallerhermoso chief's husband, son

From The Manila Times (Feb 21, 2022): Visayas Command condemns death of Vallerhermoso chief's husband, son (By Francis Earl Cueto)

THE Visayas Command condemned the killing by members of the New People's Army (NPA) on the family of a village chairwoman in Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental on February 16 for refusing to withdraw her support to the government. 

Maj. Gen. Robert Dauz said that Barangay Malangsa chief Beatriz Perater is one of the many people in Negros who is an active supporter of the government's peace and development initiatives in her community. 

According to a police report, Perater supported the call of her constituents for the establishment of an army detachment in their village. 

Soon afterward, a group of armed men believed to be members of the NPA approached her and demanded that she withdraw her support. 

The armed suspects shot mercilessly at her husband, Lucio Perater, and her son Fernando Perater. Dauz vowed justice for the slain individuals.
