MONUMENT FOR KIETH ABSALON UNVEILED IN MASBATE

Serving as a perpetual reminder of football star Kieth Absalon who was mercilessly killed by the New People's Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines - National Democratic Front (CPP-NDF) exactly a year from today (June 6), a monument to honor his exemplary life was unveiled at the Masbate Sports Complex.

In commemoration of his first death anniversary, Vilma Absalon, the mother of Kieth, said, "Ito ay magpapa-alala sa aking anak. Napakasakit man ng pangyayari na di malilimutan kailanman. Magsisilbi ito sa mga kabataan, na ang sports ay maaaring daan para makapag-aral,” during a special press briefing of the National Task Force to End Local Communists Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) also held in Masbate.
