The recent Lambunao, Iloilo encounter that resulted in the death of two high-ranking Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) leaders and the recovery of the cadaver of a third CTG leader reveals the true nature of these individuals as Communist NPA terrorists in the guise of being National Democratic Front (NDF) consultants. These neutralized CTG leaders were not mere consultants but active participants of communist terrorism in the conflict-affected and geographically isolated areas (GICAs) of the country that have brought nothing but suffering and fear to the Filipino people.
The 301st Infantry “Bayanihan” Brigade troopers’ dedication to attain peace and progress in their area of responsibility is truly commendable. The continuous neutralization of CTGs and capture of war materiel, the local government units’ proactive delivery of basic and social services, and the community’s participation in tracking these terrorists are testament to the people’s clamor for genuine peace and development in Panay.
We call upon the Filipino people to unite and put an end to the decades-long communist terrorism that obstructed progress and brought senseless deaths to those who fell prey to their deceptive recruitment.
