In a statement released on Saturday, May 3, Brig.

He said Golimlim, who has a P2.5 million bounty on his head, was believed to have been killed during the firefight, which lasted for 10 minutes, between the Army troops and at least four other rebels at about 9:15 a.m. on April 27.
He added that members of the Army's 31st Infantry Battalion and the 9th K9 Battalion, recovered the rebel's remains in a follow up operation at about 3:30 p.m. on April 28, a day after the clash.
Reward was given to informants, he added.
