A heroes’ salutation awaits for
our Filipino peacekeepers serving in the Heights of Golan who made the successful
daring escape from the communist Syrian rebels.
“This October will be the
scheduled month for their comeback, so we will be preparing a hero’s welcome
for our brave soldiers” General Catapang said.
November of last year our
military soldiers were deployed in the Golan Heights to serve as peacekeepers.
According to the general, they
are now on the process on how those soldiers will be promoted on the next
level.
More than 300 Philippine armies will
be pulled out this October when their duty ends. The date of their return was
already decided days before the Golan Heights happened as the Syrian rebels
abducted the Fijian peacekeepers and then tried to do same thing with our Filipino
peacekeepers, luckily the soldiers escaped.
General Catapang portrayed it as “the
greatest escape.”
But AFP chief claimed this week
that UNDOF Commander General Singha of India ordered the Filipino soldiers to surrender
their weapons and avoid mischief from befalling captured Fijians.
Undersecretary General Lasdous of
UN supported Singha that there was no order given. The order was not to shoot
and not hand over the said Ph peacekeepers weapons.
The Philippine General decided
not to comment on the Statements given by the United Nations.
“We have already submitted report to our
President and it is up to him now to decide. We don’t a blame game. What was important
was we were able to save our soldiers,” he said.
