From the Visayan Daily Star (Aug 3): Negrense soldier dies saving lives
Philippine Marine trooper SSgt. Jessie Sebala is a hero to his colleagues and family in Brgy.Tabu, Ilog, Negros Occidental.
This is because he saved many lives when he and his companions attempted to defuse an improvised explosives device that went off and cost him his life in Sitio Satan, Barangay Tiptipon, Jolo, Sulu on July 27, Col. Jose Cenabre, commander of the Joint Task Force Sulo, said.
He saved the lives of many civilians, SSgt. Cesar Caba, who accompanied the remains of Sebala to his hometown in Ilog, said.
Injured in the explosion were TSgt. Fructuso Cajote Jr. and SSgt. Albert Tannong.
Cenabre said the bomb was placed near the house of a village official and the soldiers were there to defuse it, and while they were conducting recovery and disposal, it went off, Cenabre said.
Sebala, who got married only three months ago, is expected to be accorded full military honors during his burial on Sunday in Brgy. Tabu, Ilog.
