Supt. Noli Romana; the Deputy Regional Director for Operations Sr. Supt. Froilan
Quidilla; Supt. Danilo Macerin - the Regional Chief of the Criminal
Investigation and Detection Group XI and other responsible offices of PRO XI.
Dela Cerna said the team already further went back to the
area on Monday to assess, including problems on logistics and failure of
intelligence.
Meanwhile, a combined government forces belonging to the
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the PNP launched a massive pursuit
operation against the lawless New People's Army (NPA) rebels responsible to the
raid of the municipal police station of Governor Generoso town in Davao
Oriental on Sunday evening, May 29.
The provincial government of Davao Oriental said the AFP and
the PNP forces were also coordinating with the local government units (LGUs) in
the area to bring into justice those responsible for the raid that resulted in
the wounding of a policeman and the abduction of the chief of police of
Governor Generoso.
In an interview with reporters here Monday, Captain Rhyan
Batchar, chief information officer of the 10th Infantry (Agila) Division, said
the attackers were a combination of NPA forces coming from the provinces of Compostela Valley
Leading the assessment on the situation in the area are Lt.
Col. Ramon Zagala, commander of 28th Infantry Battalion and Police Supt. Harry
Espela, the acting PNP Director of Davao Oriental.
Col. Bienvenido Datuin, commander of 701st brigade of the
army also said in the same statement that he already ordered for the clearing
of the national highway leading to Governor Generoso.
Batchar added that reinforcing troopers on Sunday evening
were halted with piles of used tires mounted by the NPAs along the San Isidro-Governor
Generoso national highway.
"We are already on top of the situation and are
currently in the state of investigation for the quick resolution of the
case," the AFP and the PNP said in a statement.
The provincial police also made inventory of the police
station's armory.

attacked the police station of Mati
City
Four army troopers were killed when their military vehicle
was hit by a landmine that was planted by the NPAs near the national highway.
