From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Nov 1): ADDING INSULT TO INJURY // NPA Returns Money Stolen from Mayor Otaza

CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City (DWDD) – The 4th Infantry Division condemns NPA move of returning back stolen money from Mayor Otaza refers to as adding more insult to their brutal act of killing.

Col Alexander Macario, Commander of 401st Infantry Brigade said, “This is their (NPA) desperate act of trying to fix their mess. Returning the stolen money is actually adding more pain and suffering to the families, friends, and love ones of Mayor Otaza. This won’t fix everything. This will not bring back the life of Mayor Otaza and Daryl.”

Recently, NPA bandit’s spokesperson Rigoberto Sanchez said that they based their brutal act of killing from their code of ethics.

This was condemned by the peace-loving people of Caraga including the Human Rights Watch. “The killing of the Otazas – like other NPA executions – is just plain murder,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch.

“The NPA’s actions and claims of revolutionary justice handed down by people’s courts are flagrant violations of international law.”

Col Macario further questioned and criticized the inhumane and brutal NPA people’s court. He said, “What code of ethics are these NPA bandits referring to – The code of the Barbarians?”

“Their barbaric act has no place in a civilized society. Criminals like them don’t have moral ascendancy to use the word “code of ethics”. This is only for the peace-loving people and not for the criminals like them.” He added 4DPAO / MCAG
