| Lawmaker says grenade attack possibly election-related Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:34 AM PDT HOUSE of Representatives Deputy Speaker and Cagayan de Oro City Representative Rufus Rodriguez said the grenade attack in front of his ancestral residence early Wednesday morning, September 29, 2021, is possibly related to his decision to consider running as mayor of the city in the 2022 election. "Posible lang nga kani mao na'y gitawag nga election-related incident, tungod kay ni-announce man gud ta nga nikonsiderar kita pagdagan pagka-mayor," Rodriguez said in a radio interview Wednesday, September 29. However, speculations should not be made while there is no evidence yet, he added. The incident occurred in front of the Rodriguez family's ancestral residence in Barangay Nazareth in Cagayan de Oro City around 1 a.m. According to Rodriguez, motorcycles were heard and seen after the grenade was thrown. The grenade did not explode and no one was hurt. "Duha ka motorsiklo ang nadunggan ug nakit-an nga niharurot pagkahuman pagkalabay niining granada. Duha ni ka tao, nagsakay sa duha ka motorsiklo," Rodriguez said. The lawmaker said in his 18 years as a public servant, it was the first time an incident involving a grenade happened to him. "Eighteen years ang atong public service, wala pa nisukad nga makadawat og mga hulga, wala man sukad nga labayan og granada atong panimalay," Rodriguez said. He further said he already talked with the police chief of Cagayan de Oro to investigate the incident. "Ang ato, dili man ta maka-ispekulasyon kay wala pa man tay ebidensya. Ako ning itugyat sa kapulisan pagka imbestigar niining nahitabo," Rodriguez said. "Naay nakuha sa CCTV (closed-circuit television) [camera] nato kaning mga nisakay sa motor. Tan-awon gyud nga kinsa man gyud ani ang naglabay og granada ug kinsa man nagsugo nila," he added. The lawmaker assured the public that the incident did not move him into stopping his duties as a public servant. "Wala gyud ta matandog niini kay kung monerbisyo ta sa atong katawhan, naa gyud posibilidad nga mahitabo kini. Ang ato gyud nga magpadayon kita sa atong pagserbisyo, Rodriguez said.

| Communist leader, 6 others surrenders in Bukidnon Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:33 AM PDT A LEADER of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New Peoples Army (CPP-NPA) and six other rebels surrendered to authorities in Bukidnon earlier this week. Dante Pluma Cuyos, alias DR/Pedring/Asul/Riche, political officer of the Platoon Bagsik, Guerilla Front (GF) Malayag of the North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (NCMRC), surrendered to the 88th Infantry Battalion on September 26, 2021, in Barangay Tongan-tongan, Valencia City in Bukidnon. Together with him were four female CPP-NPA rebels identified as Jalyn Hagayhay Mandikonlay alias Cecil/Sassy, a platoon medic; Nalyn Gibangon Mansayloan alias Sabel, a squad medic; Maricel Tingcas Gamot alias Maricel, also a squad medic; and Lina Tawide Tilucan alias Kikay, a political guide. Major General Romeo Brawner Jr., the commander of the 4th Infantry Division (4ID), said they welcomed Cuyos' return to the peaceful path. The former rebels turned in three cal 7.62-millimeter (mm) AK47 rifles; one cal 5.56mm M4 Bushmaster rifle; one caliber 7.62mm M14 rifle; and one caliber 30 Garand rifle. Meanwhile, the 8th Infantry Battalion facilitated the surrender of Junas Tuminao Lindaban alias Kint, a political guide of Squad 1, SDG Dario, GF89, NCMRC, in Barangay Poblacion, Impasugong in Bukidnon. Together with him was his wife, Rosalinda Simpan Paunay alias Keratin/Jela, a squad medic of the said group. "The surrender of the 7 CNTs (CPP-NPA terrorists) signifies that the end of the communist terrorist group in Bukidnon province is forthcoming," Brawner said. "They were demoralized as our troops incessantly conduct focused military operations based on the influx of information received from civilians enabling the troops to track CTG hideouts. They were tired of continuously hiding while having meager food supplies in the mountains," he added. The 4ID commander also assured that the Army will help and assist the former rebels, especially after they found out that one of the women was pregnant, another is suffering from a kidney problem, and one is deaf. "We shall facilitate their medical treatment at Camp Evangelista Station Hospital in 4ID," Brawner said.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
