Posted to Kalinaw News (Apr 16, 2022): Government facilitates the turn over of CTGs’ remains to their families

MAKILALA, NORTH COTABATO – 39th Infantry Battalion in coordination with the Local Government Unit of Makilala and Department of Social Welfare and Development XII facilitated the turn over of the remains of alias Joven to his family at Brgy Biangan, Makilala, North Cotabato. Also, with the assistance of 73rd Infantry Battalion, Local Government Unit of Sta Cruz and Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office of Davao del Sur, late alias Enoy returned to his family at peace in Barangay Sibulan, Sta Cruz, Davao del Sur on April 15, 2022.

Alias Enoy, Commanding Officer and alias Joven, Political Guide, of the Dismantled Pulang Bagani Command, Southern Regional Committee 3, Southern Mindanao Regional Committee of the New People’s Army were killed in an encounter in Brgy Malasila, Makilala Cotabato on April 13, 2022.

Mrs Lea Castillote, mother of Alias Enoy, condemned the CPP-NPA terrorists for the sudden demise of her son. She mournfully said that it was not the government’s fault of this unfortunate incident, but it had actually been the exploitation and deception of the Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs). She further exclaimed that, “I blame the CPP-NPA terrorists who recruited and influenced Enoy to join their worthless armed struggle.”

Further, Angelica Yambanao, sister of alias Joven appreciated the effort of the government in assisting them in this hardest time of their life, “We are thankful for the help of the government for giving assistance during the burial of our brother, even though he is against the government, still the government is always there to help us surpass this unfortunate event.”

The assistance given by the authorities is actually the genuine manifestation of the government’s efforts of advocating peace and development. Peace-building programs under NTF-ELCAC are several of the many services provided for the surrender of our deceived friends. Our collaboration and teamwork will always better the situation of the communities for sustainable progress.
