From Kalinaw News (Mar 2, 2021): 3ID Commander Slams CPP-NPA Terrorist for Killing Tapaz Village Chairman
CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan Capiz –MGen Eric Vinoya, the Commander of the Army’s 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division condemns to the strongest possible terms the death of the Village Chairman in Tapaz, Capiz perpetrated by the CPP-NPA Terrorist.
Honorable Julie Catamin, the Village Chairman of Roosevelt, Tapaz was shot to death by the communist-terrorists on Sunday morning, February 28, 2021.
“We are one with the people of Tapaz in condemning the cruelty of the CPP-NPA Terrorist against the active public servant and peace advocate in the town. His death is a strong evidence of the CPP-NPA’s blatant violation of human rights. Mercilessly killing an unarmed public servant is one of their violent ways. A desperate move that only the cold-blooded communist-terrorist groups can execute especially when they are losing the people’s trust and confidence,” MGen Vinoya stressed.
MGen Vinoya also slammed the communist-terrorists and their allied groups for quickly pointing their guilty fingers to the government forces as perpetrators.
“We are not new to this tricky tactic of the Communist-Terrorists. Blaming the government forces is their usual ploy every time a crime is committed by their members. They cannot fool the people of Tapaz through their fabricated stories for they are the ones who have solid motive to kill the pro-government village chairman,” MGen Vinoya further stressed.
Under the leadership of Catamin, the residents of Barangay Roosevelt took a bold step against the CPP-NPA Terrorist by declaring them as persona-non-grata last September 15, 2020. He has been very supportive of the programs under the Executive Order No 70 of the Government in Ending the Local Communist Armed Conflict. He has supported the Community Support Program of the Army in Panay and has been instrumental in the success of the said program in his barangay.
“Catamin’s reputable deeds that have greatly contributed to the success of the government’s peace campaign will help us bring these communist-terrorists to justice. He may be gone, but his passing will not stop the people of Tapaz and your Army in pursuing the genuine peace by putting the senseless and destructive insurgency to its end,” MGen Vinoya added.
