generally peaceful,
61st IB chief says
BY MARICAR ARANAS
Oriental Negros remains generally peaceful despite the presence of different anti-government groups particularly the New People's Army, Lt. Col. Romeo Basco of the 61st Infantry Battalion said in his report yesterday.
Basco, who replaced Col. Norman Flores, called on Gov. Emilio Macias II recently, is taking charge of the 61st IB of the Philippine Army overseeing the southern pat of Negros Island. He said they have received intelligence reports on citings of different armed groups in their assigned areas, but the insurgency problem remains manageable.
Basco said that aside from the NPA, other movements and
armed groups in the island are the RHB and the breakaway group of the
RPA-ABB.

AT NORPPO Oriental Negros police director Sr. Supt. Melvin Ramon Buenafe is calling for sobriety among the men and women of the Philippine National Police in the province amid increasing reports of his possible relief. He said he was touched that police chiefs and other personnel signed a manifesto Tuesday asking the police hierarchy for his retention as the provincial police director. "I think what they feel bad about is that we (NORPPO and other law enforcement agencies) accomplished good things, but instead of being recognized for our efforts, we are being 'punished' instead, as my men would say," Buenafe said. He was referring to the March 9 ambush-slay in La Libertad which
has been tagged as the root cause of more political controversies
on the side, including his reported upcoming relief. |
