Vilma Absalon, mother of football player Kieth Absalon who was killed by the terrorist New People’s Army (NPA), and the rest of her family thanked the government for its support given to them.
In a text message to the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) on Tuesday, Absalon also called for unity in fighting terrorism and communist terrorist groups (CTGs) in the country.
“Sana magising na ang lahat na maghari ang kapangyarihan ng Panginoon at magtiwala sa magandang hangad ng ating administrasyon, maalis na ang mga gahaman, sakim sa salapi, ang mga kontra administrasyon. Salamat sa kabutihan sa pagsubaybay nyo sa aming pamilya (I hope that everyone wakes up so that the power of the Lord continues to reign, and trust in the good intentions of our administration that greed, greed for money, the anti-administrations will be eliminated. Thank you for your kindness in supporting our family),” Absalon said.
On July 17, several youth organizations held a “Bike for Justice and Peace” for Kieth Absalon, marking the 40th day after Kieth, 21, and his 40-year-old cousin, Nolven, were killed when NPA rebels detonated an anti-personnel mine while they were biking in Masbate City on June 6.
Bikers from different parts of the country joined the event calling for justice for the death of the Absalon cousins as well as for all the victims of the terroristic acts of the NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
