PAGADIAN
CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (May 19, 2017) – Troops of 53rd Infantry
Battalion have captured a sack full of teaching materials, books and subversive
documents believed to be owned by the members of the New Peoples’ Army on Wednesday
(May 17), military official said.
Ltc Virgilio
C Hamos Jr, Commanding Officer of 53rd IB said that early in the
morning, troops of Alfa Company, 53rd IB under 1Lt Sotero P. Abrito
III were participating in the Brigada Eskwela at the Elementary School in Brgy.
Bagumbayan, Sergio Osmeña, Zamboanga del Norte when they noticed the sack at
the back of a house near the vicinity of the school.
Mistaking
it for trash left behind by the Brigada Eskwela participants, the troops
decided to dump it to the dumping area when they noticed that it contained
books, Hamos said.
Among
the books that were found include several copies of “Primer Para sa Gawaing
Paralegal Sa Kanayunan”, “Special Nga Kursong Pangmasa”, “Demokratikong Rebulosyon
Sa Katawhan” and “Araling Aktibista”. These reading materials are known to be
used by the NPAs in indoctrinating and training their recruits and mass bases.
Hamos
expressed his concern on the possibility that the NPAs who left the materials
were conducting recruitment and indoctrinations near the school, possibly
targeting the school children.
“It
appears that the NPAs are taking advantage of the innocence of the youths
indiscriminate of their age”, he stated.
