Cebuano News: 1,125 ka mga bakwit sa Suriago del Sur giatiman sa tropa sa gobyerno
By Michael Imbo
BUTUAN CITY - Apektado ang dul-an 236 ka pamilya ug kapin 1,125 ka mga katawhan nga namakwit gumikan sa nahimong kagubot didto sa Probinsya sa Surigao del Sur. Kini ang gikumpirma sa 4th Infantry Division, dili pa lang dugay.
Sumala ni Spokesperson Lt Col Triumph Dominic Bagaipo, ang mga residenteng namakwit didto sa Barangay Mahaba ang mibutyag nga dili gumikan sa giyera ang ilang pagbakwit, hinoon ang dakong motibo mao ang pagpanghasi sa mga rebeldeng grupo.
Dugang sa opisyal nga ang tropa sa 4th Infantry Division sayong mibiya sa Barangay Mahaba niadto pang bulan sa Agosto sigun sa gimando sa barangay council sa maong lugar.
Si Bagaipo nagkanayon nga ang 236 ka pamilya base sa record gikan sa National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) ang mipamatuod nga namakwit ang katawhan tungod sa pagpanghasi sa New Peoples Army (NPA).
Matud niini nga walay tropa sa kasundalohan ang nagpabilin sa maong lugar. Gani, gitug-an nga ang mga tropang mipahigayon sa operasyon sa peace and order development ang gi pull-out usab.
Sanglit gisaysay nga walay kamatuoran nga ang pagbakwit sa mga residente sa maong barangay hinungdan sa sangka sa tropa sa gobyerno batok sa rebeldeng grupo.
Nahibaloan nga ang mga namakwit nga katawhan ang anaa karon sa gymnasium sa Marihatag ug ang uban tua sa Barangay San Isidro.
Si Lt. Col. Rene CaΓ±ete, Commanding Officer sa 36th Infantry Battalion ang nakig-alayon na sa pakig-koordinasyon ngadto sa Municipal Government sa Marihatag ug sa Barangay San Isidro kaabag ang Philippine Red Cross, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ug Philippine National Police alang sa pagpakalma sa sitwasyun ug paghatud sa operasyon tabang.
Matud ni CaΓ±ete “Originally, before they were pulled out, the presence of military forces in Barangay Mahaba is legitimate because of our constitutional mandate.”
Miaabag ang mga nagkadaiyang ahensya sa pagpakabana sa mga biktima nga namakwit aron mahatagan sa seguridad ug mabalik ang ilang mga kabtangan.
Ang Philippine Red Cross usab ang mibubo sa panginahanglan sa mga pagkaon sa mga bakwit didto sa mga evacuation center. (PIA-Caraga)
