A New People’s Army couple, who died and were left behind by their fleeing comrades following a recent encounter with government security forces, were given a decent burial by the Himamaylan City Task Force in Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (HTF-ELCAC).
The burial of Elbert Nicolas Quillano, deputy secretary of the Central Negros (Front) 2, and his wife, Jessa, medical officer of Sentro De Grabidad Platoon of CN2, were facilitated by the 94IB soldiers, who buried them at the public cemetery of Himamaylan City on April 3, its commander, Lt. Col. Van Donald Almonte, said.
The rebel couple died on April 1 following an encounter between 94th and 79th Infantry Battalion soldiers in Sitio Kulihaw, Brgy. Buenavista, Himamaylan City.
Almonte said the masses that trusted the NPA are fed up and no longer endure the extortion and threats they received from the terrorist group.
This prompted them to abandon the armed group and takes side with the government.
On March 26, two suspected NPA rebels, who are brothers also died in an encounter with 94IB soldiers in neighboring Brgy. Carabalan, Himamaylan City.
