Fleeing NPA Rebel Abandons Child In Talisay City, Negros Occidental
TALISAY CITY – An NPA rebel, who was evading soldiers, abandoned her two-month-old son in Brgy. San Fernando, Talisay City, Negros Occidental.
“We are saddened that the baby was abandoned by her mother for a senseless cause,”
This statement came from Lieutenant Colonel Gerard Alvaran, commander of the Philippine Army’s 79 Infantry Battalion (79IB), according to Panay News.
Alvaran added that 79IB troops arrived in Hacienda Ambulog, Brgy. San Fernando after receiving a tip regarding the presence of rebels. This prompted “Ka Jandy”, the mother of the said child, and comrade “Ka Moneth” to flee.
“Ka Jandy had a choice, but she chose to leave her child and go against the government,”
The child was turned over by the soldiers and the local police station to the care of the City Social Welfare and Development Office.
The soldiers came to the residence of a Marilyn Dianton and found the baby at 2:20 PM.
Recovered from the area were subversive documents with high intelligence value, medical supplies, including a pack of birth control pills, infant’s clothes, feeding bottles, disposable diapers, and other baby stuff, as well as food items such as rice, canned goods, and instant noodles.
Also retrieved from the crime scene were three mobile phones, seven phone batteries, two cellular phone chargers, a power bank, and a gas stove with five butane fuel canisters.
Based on the report, Alvaran thanked the residents who provided the information about the rebels.
“Your continuous support by way of relaying information (to us) contributes a lot to our fight against insurgency,”
The commander urged “Ka Jandy” and her comrades to “lay down their arms and abandon the pointless armed struggle.”
“The government is willing to help them start anew,”
