From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 7): Military agent shot dead, informant hurt in Surigao del Sur

A military intelligence agent was slain while an informant was hurt after some unidentified assailants shot them around 8 a.m. Wednesday at the National Highway, Purok 1, Barangay Magosilum, Cantilan, Surigao del Sur.

Reports from Surigao del Sur Police Provincial Office identified the victim as S/Sgt. Gilbert Sionzon y Lalimos, 43, a member of the military intelligence battalion (MIB). He was then accompanied by a civilian informant identified as Ampol Daging, 31. Both are residents of the said barangay.

The victims were on board a red Honda (XLR) motorcycle heading towards Barangay Union, Madrid, Surigao del Sur. They were waylaid by the suspects who eventually shot both of them using an unknown caliber of firearm. Sionzon died of gunshot wounds on his head and body. Daging who was hit on his body was able to ask assistance from a passing motorist, who brought him to a hospital in Cantilan.

Police recovered from the place of incident a Honda XLR without plate number owned by Daging, a Norinco 1911 A1 Caliber .45 pistol bearing serial number 1004352 (China made) with one magazine loaded with six live ammunition, three fired cartridges, a pair of slippers and a towel.

Follow up investigation is still being undertaken by the Cantilan Police to determine the motive of the attack and apprehend the gunmen.
