The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) condemned the New People’s Army (NPA) for its continued use of the banned anti-personnel mines (APM), which caused the death of five CAFGU Active Auxiliary (CAA) during an encounter in Tagkawayan, Quezon last September 1.
This as AFP chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. visited the wake and paid his respects to these fallen personnel last September 8.
“In the solemn wake of five courageous CAFGU members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, the CSAFP witnessed in awe their heroism and gallantry. These valiant personnel displayed unwavering dedication to safeguarding our nation, facing danger with unyielding resolve,” AFP public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Enrico Gil Ileto said Sunday.
These fallen CAAs were identified as Ceasar Sales, Jeffrey San Antonio, Jomarie Guno, John Ven Perez, and Aldon James Rafa.
All five were laid to rest in the newly inaugurated “Himlayan ng mga Bayani” at the public cemetery of Tagkawayan, also on September 8.
“Their selfless commitment to defending our homeland serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that resides within our armed forces. Their sacrifice will forever be etched in the annals of our military history, a reminder of the profound courage exhibited by those who wear our nation’s uniform,” Ileto added.
Brawner also condemned the rebels’ continued use of banned APMs in their campaign against government troops and civilians.
“Their attack on government troops and use of banned APMs proved once again their apt designation as a terrorist organization with their wanton disregard and continued violation of the International Humanitarian Law’s ban on the manufacture, transport, stockpile and use of anti-personnel mines,” Ileto said.
Meanwhile, six NPA rebels were killed and seven high powered firearms were captured in successive encounters between the Army’s 47th Infantry Battalion and remnants of the defunct Bohol Party Committee at Barangay Campagao, Bilar, Bohol, on September 7.
This accomplishment further erodes the capability of the communist terrorists to conduct atrocities in the province and brings the AFP closer towards a complete victory in the whole Visayas region, Ileto said.
