Your Army will remain steadfast and strong in our commitment to ensure the safety of the Negrenses and eradicate the terroristic influence brought by this Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs). Cariño further added.

Col Leonardo Peña, 302nd Brigade Commander, condemns this barbaric act perpetrated by the CPP-NPA Terrorists, in their desperation to hamper the peace and progress brought by the presence of our soldiers in the communities thru various activities of our Community Support Operators in the area.

“These senseless attack proves once again that this Communist Terrorist Groups are Human Rights violators. Our slain soldiers are just doing their job to help in the progress of the communities in the far flung barangays. Their ultimate sacrifice in the name of service to God, to our country, and to our people will not be put in vain, for we will legally seek justice and file appropriate criminal case to those culprits.
