“Tila po hindi isinasaalang-alang ng Communist Terrorist Group ang peligrong dulot nito sa komunidad. Ang mga nadiskobre po ng mga sundalo na mga pampasabog at mga bala ay napaka-delikado lalo na sa mga inosente nating kababayan (The Communist Terrorist Group undermined the safety of the civilians),” Bajao stated.
Members of the 49th IB recovered concealed eight (8) anti-personnel mines, 1,747 pieced of ammunition, and 180 meters of electrical wires at the aforesaid barangay on Feb. 25, Friday.
The Commanding General stated that the use, storage and production of anti-personnel mines is considered as a war crime and a clear violation of the Mine Ban Treaty signed during the Geneva Convention in 1949.
“Hindi po basta-basta ang mga kagamitang ito lalo na’t ang mga bomba ay maaring sumabog kahit ano mang oras at magdulot ng matinding pinsala sa buhay ng mga inosente nating kababayan (These are not ordinary war explosives. It can detonate and set off anytime once triggered and could harm the lives of innocent civilians),” Bajao added.
