Army brings home fallen troops in Moises Padilla encounter
SAGAY CITY, Negros Occidental — The Philippine Army’s 79th Infantry (Masaligan) Battalion and 12th Infantry Battalion accorded military honors to the late Corporal Biencent John L Trero and Private Cesar Ian B Eleuterio upon arrival of their cadavers at Bacolod-Silay Airport and Roxas City Airport via NC212i aircraft of the Philippine Air Force from Cebu City late in the afternoon of November 6, 2021 (Saturday).
The cadaver of late Cpl Trero was further transported to his family in Barangay To-uy, Himamaylan, Negros Occidental while the cadaver of late Pvt Eleuterio was subsequently brought to his residence in Brgy Jaena Norte, Jamindan, Capiz.
Corporal Trero and Private Eleuterio were killed during an encounter against members of the CPP-NPA Terrorists (CNTs) in Moises Padilla last November 3 while their team was responding to an information from a concerned citizen on the presence of armed men planning to stage attacks and extortion activities in the area.
Four (4) other soldiers were also wounded in the said encounter. They are now in stable condition and well taken cared of in a private hospital in Cebu City where they recuperate.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to the bereaved families of the departed comrades. Both will be given full military honors befitting of a hero during their wake and on interment,” said Lieutenant Colonel J-jay Javines, Commanding Officer of 79IB.
“We will not let this incident dampen our spirit but rather serve as a motivation and inspiration for us to do our best and strive even harder to accomplish our mission. We shall not let their sacrifices go in vain as we vow to be more relentless in our peace and development effort to end the local armed conflict not only in Moises Padilla but in Negros Occidental as a whole,” Lt. Col. Javines added.
