A unit of the New People’s Army (NPA)-South Central Negros (Romeo Nanta Command) ambushed the elements under the 94th IB and CAFGUs operating in Sitio Balao, Barangay Tan-awan, Kabankalan City on September 4. Three fascist soldiers were wounded.
NPA unit spokesperson Ka Dionisio Magbuelas said more than three months of combat operations by the soldiers and CAFGU have sowed terror and violence in the Kabankalan City communities. Traitors to the revolution who actively collaborate with the military participated in these operations.
The 3rd ID’s statement claimed that the armed offensive of the people’s army wounded only one of its soldiers to conceal its defeat. It also spread lies that fighters of the NPA-South Central Negros were wounded.
The damage the military suffered prompted the soldiers to retaliate by terrorizing the sitios under Barangay Carol-an. The 94th IB and CAFGU fired their guns indiscriminately for almost two hours, forcing 116 households (480 individuals) from the sitios of Palawis, Balao, and Alambihod to evacuate.
As if they did not cause the the displacement, the 94th IB together with the local government of Kabankalan City hypocritically returned to Barangay Carol-an on September 5 to “distribute” food and medical services to the displaced families. The battalion also conducted “peace dialogues” with the civilians, which veiled its psywar and threats.
