(Eagle News) — The military on Wednesday discovered food and medical supplies buried by suspected members of the New People’s Army in a forested area in Bukidnon for future use.
In a statement, Lieutenant Colonel Randy Remonte, commanding officer of the 88th Infantry Battalion of the Army’s 4th ID, said residents of Barangay Concepcion, Valencia, tipped his men about the presence of the food packs, medical supplies, and sacks of rice the rebels reportedly extorted from them.
The items in plastic containers were unearthed around 8 a.m. on Wednesday, February 14, 2018.
“We appreciate the support of the residents…most especially Punong Barangay Luzviminda Santillan. We would not be able to locate these items without their vigilance and cooperation,” Remonte said.
