Remembering the 'Lason' Batch Death Anniversary

Photo credit to owner

Exactly 30 years ago the AFP suffered the most tragic loss of lives and is considered as one of the highest number of casualties during that era. Almost one platoon were all killed in Zamboanga way back in 87' who were also known to us as the " LASON BATCH ".

Those troopers who died during the incident were 18-19 years old all freshly graduates from their training camp when they were sent to Zamboanga for their first deployment. Sadly as soon as they arrived they decided to conduct a routine road run to be familiar with the place. What they don't know is that the enemies used the villagers to initiate their brutal attack. While our young troopers were jogging in the area some civilians offered them cold waters in a cellophane for free. What our troopers didn't know is that the " ICE WATERS " were mixed with a battery solution as poison. The whole platoon size men were all killed instantly and those who made it to the Hospital also died painfully mentioning that their internal organs were burnt by the poison.

NOTE: After this incident all our AFP combatants is now restricted to receive any food and beverages from civilians.

REST IN PEACE BROTHERS!
