Duterte condoles with
family of ambushed Davao police
BANSALAN,
DAVAO DEL SUR – President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Thursday, March 9, attended
the wake of policemen who were killed in operation by alleged members of the
New People’s Army (NPA) in Bansalan, Davao del Sur.
Upon his arrival at the Bansalan
Municipal Hall where the remains of the fallen police officers lie in state,
Duterte was warmly welcomed by Davao del Sur Governor Douglas Cagas and other high
ranking officials in the province.
Duterte immediately extended financial,
medical, and educational assistance to the bereaved families. He also awarded
the Medalya ng Kagalingan to the fallen.
Medalya ng Kagalingan or the PNP Merit
Award is awarded to members of the Philippine National Police for a single act
of heroism or a series of heroic acts in line of duty.
Bansalan police personnel PO1 Rholly
Benelayo, PO1 Joey Narvaza, PO1 Saro Mangotara, and PO3 Jeden Mie Rabor, were
killed in an ambush by alleged NPA members in Brgy. Sibayan in Bansalan on
Wednesday, March 8.
Meanwhile, PO3 Allan Arnado, who was
injured during the ambush incident, was also present during the wake.
Arnado was personally awarded the
Medalya ng Kadakilaan by President Duterte. Financial assistance, medical and
educational support were also provided.
The President said that what happened
to the policemen was not an “overkill” but a “question of honor.”
“It’s a question of honor. Alam mo we
fight a war and as the revolutionary ideology would put it, it’s a kind of
ideological cannibalism because you devour your own kind. You kill your own
brother and sisters in thy name in the altar of a revolution,” Duterte said in
a media interview following his wake visit.
He also pitied the communists for what
they did to the policemen, saying that people “would never want them in power.”
“I’m ready for all out war, another 50
years,” Duterte said, adding that he is now allowing the police and military to
use all available assets.
He also assured everybody that both
Armed Forces and the PNP would respond to their duties.
