The two policemen injured in the ambush perpetrated by the
New People’s Army (NPA) in Candoni, Negros Occidental last February 18 were
awarded the Philippine National Police Wounded Personnel Medal Monday.
Supt. Conrado Capa, director of Police Regional Office-18,
conferred the medals on Police Officer 2 Jay Arroyo, 44, and Police Officer 1
Modesto Bina, 36, who are currently recuperating at The Doctors’ Hospital here.
Capa also handed financial assistance to the two police
officers during the rites witnessed by Senior Supt. William Señoron,
office-in-charge of Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, and other
PRO-18 officials.
Both Arroyo and Bina deserve to be awarded for their
exemplary efficiency, and devotion to duty as member of Candoni Municipal
Police Station, the PRO-18 said.
During Monday’s flag-raising ceremony held at Negros
Occidental Police Provincial Office grounds at Camp Alfredo M. Montelibano Sr.
here, the Philippine flag was flown at half mast as a sign of mourning, and
giving honor to those who were killed during the ambush.
PRO-18 officials also led the wearing of black arm bands.
At past 10 p.m. last Thursday, a team of six Candoni
policemen responded to a stabbing incident in Barangay Caningay.
On their way back to the station, a group of NPA rebels
ambushed them, killing Police Officer 3 Joeharry Peralta, 38, and PO1 Henry
Pacheco, 30.
Senior Police Office 4 Boyd Mate, 43, and PO1 Charlemagne
Caballero, 40, were unharmed.
