Ayon kay Andanar, nakadidismaya ang rebeldeng grupo dahil sinasabayan pa ng mga pag atake ang krisis na kinakaharap ng bansa dahil sa COVID-19.
“To destroy the properties and place of worship and to possibly endanger the lives of innocent people are dastardly acts by themselves, but to commit them at a time when many of our countrymen are already reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is extraordinarily callous and inhumane,” pahayag ni Andanar.
Nakababahala at hindi katanggap tanggap ang ginawa ng rebeldeng grupo.
“It is disturbing and unforgivable that the CPP-NPA, which claims to champion the common people, are the ones who blatantly disregard and violate the human rights of the poor folk,” pahayag ni Andanar.
Tiniyak naman ni Andanar na gagawin ng pamahalaan ang lahat ng pamamaraan para masiguro ang kaligtsan ng mga residente at mapanagot ang mga salarin.
“As the designated Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security for Northern Mindanao (CORDS X), we will help coordinate with the local government and the concerned government agencies to ensure that those affected are given the assistance that they need. We will also coordinate with the authorities in order to remain updated on the developments regarding the incident until the matter is resolved,” pahayag ni Andanar.
