FOLLOWING the “illegal search” at Balay Mindanaw Center last week, the peace group reminds law enforcers to be mindful of the rights of every citizen.

In a statement, Balay Mindanaw urged civil society organizations and the public to remain vigilant in protecting their rights.

“Balay Mindanaw as a peacebuilding NGO has been engaged in helping build inclusive peace for many years. We are actively involved in security sector partnership, various peace processes and in the various peace and order councils (POCs) from the barangay to the region,” it said.

“We assure our partners in government, LGUs, the security sector, the revolutionary groups, CSOs, private sector, resource partners both local and international, that this unfortunate incident has not diminished our commitment to help build lasting, just and inclusive PEACE,” Balay Mindanaw added.

The group said they will soon file appropriate action after in the incident.
