Press Statement
June 15, 2015
May we express our profound salute to the Red fighters of South Bukidnon Subregional Command of North Central Mindanao Region for their successful tactical offensive on 14 June 2015 against the 69th IB who had encamped the barangay hall in sitio Mahayag, Brgy. Namnam, San Fernando, Bukidnon.
A total of 13 firearms consisting of 1 minimi light machine gun, 1 m203 grenade launcher, 5 m14 rifles, 3 m16 armalite rifles, 2 .45 cal pistols, 1 magnum .38 and military paraphernalia were seized by the Red fighters in a daring attack against the AFP troops.
It must be noted that the 69th IB which used to be one of Palparan’s killer battalion from Central Luzon but is now under the operational control of the 10th ID AFP has been mainly responsible for the continuing fascist attacks against the rural populace in the mountains of Davao and Bukidnon including the most recent massacre in Paquibato which took the lives of 3 innocent civilians and wounded several others.
Under the 10th ID’s auspices, the 69th IB has continued to sow terror and violence in a desperate effort to give the false impression that the AFP is winning the war but at the same time pave the way for the imperialist plunder of our natural resources.
Again, our deepest commendation to the South Bukidnon Subregional command as we continue to defend the masses and the land in our fight against the most fascist and the most detrimental to the people’s livelihood— the 10th ID in their Oplan Bayanihan under the US Aquino regime.
