The recruitment of minors by the New People's Army was proven by the recent arrest of a 15-year-old boy in Brgy. Casala-an, Santa Catalina, Oriental Negros, the military said.
Lt. Col. Norman Flores, 61st Infantry Battalion commander, yesterday said the minor, whose name is being withheld by the DAILY STAR, is a resident of Daang Lungsod, Santa Catalina and was on a foraging mission, when intercepted by barangay tanods on Oct. 6.
Flores said the boy confessed to being a member of the
Larangan Gerilya 5 platoon 2 operating in the hinterland areas of Santa
Catalina and neighboring areas in southern Negros.
