Other personnel assisted the victims to transport to the nearest hospital for medication. According to LTC ALCOVINDAS- Commander 75IB, the NPA is so desperate to do such act which is a clear violation of Comprehensive Agreement on Respect to Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL). It is alsoa clear manifestation that the CPP-NPA-NDF (CNN)intends to sow terror with no respect to innocent civilians which supposed to be protected especially the children (like. Mae Rosalyn Adonis). We now challenge the group of KARAPATAN to show their commitment and support to the victims of the NPAas human rights advocator he added.
