The Front 25 Operations Command of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Southern Mindanao commiserates with the family of Grecil Galacio who was killed by the military in the course of its wanton operations in New Bataan, Compostela Valley. The AFP’s Eastern Command through its chief Lt. Gen. Rodolfo Obaniana has falsely justified its murderous rampage by claiming that Grecil was an NPA combatant who attacked them using an M-16 rifle, in an apparent move to save face and evade public backlash. Four fascist AFP soldiers were killed and scores of others were wounded in that incident; there were no NPA casualties.

DAPECOL ARMORY RAID A BIG SLAP IN THE FACE OF THE AFP/PNP; EXPOSES WEAKNESSES AND FUTILITY OF OPLAN BANTAY LAYA II
Combined units of the Merardo Arce Command (MAC)-New People’s Army (NPA) launched a daring raid on the armory of the Davao Penal Colony (DAPECOL) in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte early dawn yesterday. A tactical MAC-NPA platoon entered the DAPECOL compound at 1:30 AM and left at 1:50 AM. The 20-minute special operations seized the entire armory of DAPECOL which consisted of 105 long firearms, 3 short firearms, two handheld VHF radios and several rounds of ammunition. This is one of the biggest haul of the NPA since its founding in March 29, 1969.
