DAYS after Nolven and Kieth Absalon were killed by the Communists Party of the Philippines-New people's Army-National Democratic Front of the Philippines (CPP-NPA- NDFP) terrorists in Masbate City, another landmining incident occurred in Samar. The landmines killed unarmed soldiers and auxiliaries, hence non-combatants. The poor guys were simply getting some lumber to improve their patrol base when they were attacked along the trail. It came after Marco Valbuena, the CPP spokesman, apologized for accidentally killing the Absalon cousins. Really? What about now? What good is an apology if after saying it, you will attack more civilians? Sincerity. This was the reason why the government ended peace talks with Joma and the NDFP. We can never trust these commies, that is why we need to exterminate them.

In fact, last Saturday, another anti-personnel mine was detonated in Barangay Rizal, Dimasalang, Masbate, while government troops were passing through the area. This incident resulted in the wounding of an innocent 18-year-old female bystander while three other soldiers were also wounded.
