Lots of people are complaining about the New People’s Army (NPA) attacks in various parts of the Philippines. Some of them were accused of destroying vehicles, homes, and business properties.
Recently, a weeping mother in Bukidnon appealed to the NPA to return her son. Based on a report from Manila Bulletin, 2nd Lt. Camille M. Bumatay said the rebel took her 23-year-old son without her permission.
“Nothing can compensate for the pain felt by the parents after the NPAs took their son without consent… the parent is appealing to us to help them get their son back,” Bumatay said.
According to the report, the woman from Sitio San Roque, Barangay Sinanglanan, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon claimed that her son was fooled into joining the NPA last May 12. She said the group told her son that they are offering “free education.”
She also revealed that her son served as the terrorist group’s courier. She begged the NPA to return her son because he will never have a future with them.
Based on the report, Lieutenant Colonel Edgardo Talaroc called on the NPA to “stop manipulating children to further your wicked programs.”
Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the 30 rebels allegedly stole relief goods from the residents of Sitio Bangon, Barangay Guinmayohan in Balangiga, Eastern Samar. The Philippine army confirmed the news.
