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

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

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
