PLACER, Surigao del Norte – The Army troopers of the 30th Infantry (Python) Battalion,4th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army extended help to the family of late Evenn Caballero @Banjo, an NPA Vice Communist NPA terrorist leader, during his burial at Public Cemetery of Barangay Sukailang, Surigao City, Surigao del Norte. Aka Banjo died in an encounter with 29th Infantry (Matatag) Battalion in Barangay Bangayan, Kicharao, Agusan del Norte last 20 April, 2020 when the Matatag Troopers responded to reports from civilians of the presence of NPA terrorists extorting from residents of said barangay. His lifeless body was left by his NPA comrades during the heat of the gunbattle.
During the burial, the Python Troopers took the opportunity to distribute leaflets regarding the Enhanced Community Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) to reach-out to NPA comrades of @Banjo to save them from suffering similar fate. Lt. Col. Jeffrey A Villarosa, Commanding Officer of 30IB expressed his sadness and extended his condolences to the family. “It brings us grief to see another precious life put to waste.
This could have been prevented had he heeded to our government’s plea to surrender and go back to mainstream society. Aka Boyet may have made the wrong decision when he allowed himself to be deceived by the NPA terrorists but despite this, our Army troops join his family grieve over their loss, our Army troops join the family in providing the deceased a decent and peaceful burial.”
“We are also calling on all peace-loving Surigaonons, keep your kids away from the deception and propaganda of the NPA terrorists. Do not allow your kids and love ones be deceived and fall into the trap of the NPA terrorists. Always feel free to send us information of the slightest notice of NPA presence or activities in your community”, Villarosa ended.
