‘Peace, not violence’: Binalbagan acting mayor speaks out following latest NPA-linked killing

Acting Mayor Mary Ann Mirasol has called for justice and renewed efforts to restore peace following a series of killings in the municipality, including the October 5 slaying of a force multiplier.

In a statement dated October 19, Mirasol expressed sympathy for the bereaved families and urged authorities to conduct thorough and impartial investigations into the killings, stressing that no political ideology or personal grievance could justify the unlawful taking of human life.

The October 5 killing occurred in Sitio Capaklan, Barangay Santol, Binalbagan, where a 55-year-old force multiplier was shot dead while plowing a field at around 7 am.

Police initially identified the victim as alias “Jolito.”

The New People’s Army’s South Central Negros command later claimed responsibility for the killing, identifying the victim as Dioleto Arnado and accusing him of gathering intelligence for government security forces.

The allegations against the victim have not been independently verified.

The lady vice mayor said the continuing violence had brought grief to families and fueled fear and uncertainty among residents, despite efforts to promote reconciliation and deliver government services.

She called for stronger peace and order measures, protection for communities, and efforts to address the root causes of the insurgency.

Mirasol also emphasized the importance of dialogue in addressing grievances, saying peaceful engagement grounded in honesty and commitment remains an effective means of resolving conflicts.

She urged residents to remain calm and vigilant, reject violence, and work together toward lasting peace.

“Binalbagan deserves peace, not violence; justice, not fear; progress, not poverty,” she said.

The mayor added that peace and justice would require collective effort and sustained commitment from both authorities and the community.*

The Philippine Army (PA) and the Philippine Air Force (PAF) commenced the Field Training Exercises (FTX) of the Philippine Army-Philippine Air Force Interoperability Exercise (PAF-PA IOX) 05-2026 on Monday, October 19, 2026, in Bugasong, Antique.

The exercise is being conducted in Barangays Ilaures and Camangahan in Bugasong and will culminate on October 23.

Day 1 of the FTX featured interconnected operational scenarios involving air support, artillery operations, ground maneuver, aviation mobility, casualty evacuation, airborne insertion, and search-and-rescue activities.

One of the key scenarios during the opening day was a counter-amphibious landing operation. In this exercise, the opposing force simulated an amphibious landing, prompting the joint forces of the Philippine Army and Philippine Air Force to respond and neutralize the threat through coordinated land and air operations.

Through these realistic operational scenarios, the Army and Air Force demonstrated the integration of their respective capabilities across land and air domains. The exercise aims to test and enhance joint tactics, techniques, and procedures, particularly in the areas of command and control, information sharing, mobility, and force protection.

The opening day of the FTX was attended and observed by key officers from the 3rd Infantry Division (3ID), the Philippine Air Force, and local government units in Antique. Among those present were Maj. Gen. Joey A. Escanillas, Commander of Joint Task Force SPEAR and the 3ID; Brig. Gen. Sheillah Grace E. Vicente, Commander of Tactical Operations Wing Central; Col. Leroy S. Daanton, Acting Commander of the 301st Infantry Brigade; and Col. Emelito Thaddeus M. Logan, Chief of Staff, 3ID.

Representatives from the Education and Training Command of Headquarters, Philippine Army, also attended the event. Antique Local Chief Executives, including Antique Governor, Paolo Everardo Javier, Vice Governor Genevive Lim-Reyes, Bugasong Mayor Victor Condez, San Jose de Buenavista Mayor Paul Joseph Untaran, barangay officials, and members of the media were also present.

Major General Joey A. Escanillas, Commander of the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division, underscored the vital role of peace in creating opportunities during the opening of Maguey Café on Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Barangay Igpaho, Tubungan, Iloilo.

The establishment of Maguey Café forms part of the Tubungan Municipality's flagship tourism development program, Project Tubong Turismo, which complements the Provincial Government of Iloilo's Turista sa Barangay initiative. The project reflects the local government's efforts to promote community-based tourism, preserve indigenous heritage, and generate livelihood opportunities while supporting the socioeconomic reintegration of former rebels through initiatives involving the FRIENDS–Tubungan Chapter (Federation for Reform, Initiative, Empowerment, Nation-Building, and Development Services).

In his message, Maj. Gen. Escanillas emphasized that genuine peace goes beyond the absence of conflict and must translate into tangible benefits for communities.

"This occasion reminds us that peace becomes truly meaningful when it creates opportunities, preserves cultural identities, and enables every community to work hand in hand in pursuing progress. Maguey Café brings this vision to life by transforming indigenous heritage, local ingenuity, and collective aspirations into a sustainable source of livelihood," Escanillas said.

The 3ID commander also highlighted that initiatives such as Maguey Café embody the Philippine Army’s mission of championing peace, one that extends beyond maintaining security to fostering conditions where communities can rebuild their lives, pursue opportunities, and achieve lasting progress.

"May Maguey Café become more than a place where people gather over coffee. May it be a place where traditions find new purpose, livelihoods flourish, and the seeds of lasting peace take root," he added.

The soft opening was also attended by Provincial Administrator Dr. Raul Banias, Vice Governor Lee Ann Debuque, Board Member Jo-Ann Basco Herminanda, key officers of the 301st Infantry Brigade and the 61st Infantry Battalion, as well as other local government officials, Former Rebels, Panay Bukidnon IP Community in Tubungan, Iloilo, and Philippine Chamber of Commerce.
