The Philippine Army led the coordination with the local government of San Fernando and Bukidnon Province in order to help the bereaved family of Ubert Collantes,19.
In a separate statement made by Nilo Collantes, father of Ubert, he said: “I am begging the NPA not to recruit minors anymore because they are destroying their future.”
The International Humanitarian Law (IHL) rule 136 prohibits the recruitment of child soldiers into the armed groups but the Terrorist CPP-NPA continues to violate the said provision.
It can be recalled that 2 NPA terrorists died with two high powered firearms 7.62mm M14 rifle recovered in an encounter with the Army troops under 8IB at the vicinity of Sitio Kinuaw, Brgy. Binicilan, San Luis, Agusan del Sur last December 31, 2018.
