As long as there are remaining armed communists-terrorists that continue to threaten the peacefulness of our communities, your Army in Negros will be relentless in pursuing the perpetrators of murder, arson, extortion and other atrocities against our localities. The long arm of the law will eventually bring them to the bar of justice,” BGen Edralin added.
