From the Daily Tribune (Dec 20): Cafgu shot dead by 10 NPA fighters in Agusan del Sur
Ten heavily-armed New People’s Army (NPA) fighters are being hunted for the fatal shooting of unarmed Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (Cafgu) member in San Luis, Agusan Del Sur on Monday afternoon. Lt. Col. Eugenio Julio Osias IV, 4th Infantry Division spokesman, who reported the killing to the media only on Wednesday identified the slain Cafgu as Luis Dejado, 19, and a resident of Km 41, Barangay Binacalan, San Luis, Agusan del Sur. Osias said the NPAs were believed to be members of the “Sandatahang Platun Pang-propaganda Lamak,” Guerilla Front 88 of the North Central Mindanao regional committee. Dejado was assigned at the Binicalan Patrol Base.
Osias said that the victim was about to report for duty when gunned down by the rebels at 1 p.m. “In behalf of the whole 4th Infantry Division, I would like to extend our condolences to the family of our Cafgu. We are really saddened by the death of Dejado who is unarmed during the murder, especially now that it is Christmas season,” 4th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Nestor Añonuevo said. “I have ordered all unit commanders in the area to be extra vigilant in all their actions and always be mindful of the security of their troops,” he added.
