Bulacan to honor Army officer slain in Zambo City

From the Philippine Star (Sep 23): Bulacan to honor Army officer slain in Zambo City

Bulacan officials are set to honor an Army officer felled by sniper fire in Zamboanga City last Thursday morning.

Officials in Norzagaray town are also preparing assistance to the family of 1Lt. Kristopher Rama, 30, including a possible scholarship for his three-year-old daughter.

Rama’s body is set to be brought to their house in Barangay FVR, Norzagaray town today after a two-day vigil at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City.

Board member Michael Fermin said he will ask the provincial board to give a hero’s commendation to Rama. “This is the least we can do in recognition for his service to our country in defense of our democracy,” he said.

A graduate of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 2008, Rama met his wife Erlinda in Agusan del Sur and moved to Norzagaray after their wedding.

Barangay FVR was established less than 10 years ago to accommodate relocatees from different parts of Metro Manila.
