From the Philippine Star (Apr 15): 2 killed in
North Cotabato ambush
Masked men killed in ambush a retired member of the now defunct Philippine
Constabulary and his driver in a dawn attack in Matalam town in North
Cotabato.
The chief of the Matalam municipal police, Senior Inspector Elias Dandan,
said investigators are still trying to determine if the fatal ambush of
Felixberto Badayos and his driver, Danny Simon, was election-related.
The victims were on board a Green Isuzu Highlander, bearing license plates
LDG 620, en route to Kidapawan City at about 3:00 a.m. Sunday when the gunmen
emerged from one side of the highway and opened fire at their vehicle.
Badayos and Simon, who sustained gunshot wounds in different parts of their
bodies, died while being rushed to a hospital.
Dandan said there is a possibility that Badayos and Simon were killed by
“guns-for-hire” enlisted by an adversary.
Dandan said Badayos had pending civil and criminal cases in local courts.
“We need to give investigators enough time to finish their task of
identifying his killers and the real motive for the attack.” Dandan said.
He said the bodies of Badayos and Simon had been brought home to Kidapawan
City by relatives.
