AFP Statement on the Exhumed Remains of 5 Persons in Agusan del Norte
The AFP condoles with the families of the CAFGU members and innocent civilians who were summarily executed by suspected NPA members in Northeastern Mindanao. The remains of five persons who were reported to be abducted by NPA members were finally exhumed on Sunday morning, October 30, 2022, at Sitio Baraboto, Brgy Curva, Santiago, Agusan del Norte. We hope that the recovery of the victims’ remains will help their families as they continue to seek closure and justice. We also pray that the victims will find eternal peace now that they will be placed in their final resting place.
As we condemn this atrocity, we also commit our support to the PNP in the conduct of investigation to identify the perpetrators. When necessary, the AFP will augment the PNP in serving the warrants against the main suspect, Myrna Sularte @ Iyay/Edang/Maria Malaya, the top ranking CPP cadre in Mindanao. The other suspect, Rolando Leyson Jr @ Edroy/Kikoy, was already killed in an encounter with government troops on September 14 this year. His body was retrieved by government troops in Jabonga, Agusan del Norte days later.
May this case unite all Filipinos against violence, and against armed struggle. There can be no justification to the crime that the CPP/NPA/NDF has just committed. It is an act of terror that deserves judicial action. It is a crime against humanity that calls for international condemnation.///
