The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) lauded on Monday, July 19, the organizers of the Saturday’s nationwide “Bike for Peace and Justice’’, saying it heightened the country’s united call against the atrocities committed by the communist rebels.
“The killings of Keith Absalon (football player) and his cousin Nolven, committed in violation of international humanitarian law, sheds light into CPP-NPA’s victimization of the Filipino youth,’’ DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said.
Año noted that the public should not stay silent’ on the issue, stressing that the people have the right to be outraged and to demand justice for “Keith, Nolven, and other victims of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA).’’
