A pastor of the Pilipinista Alpha and Omega Vigilantis Fighter was gunned down by suspected New People's Army (NPA) rebels who confronted him on Tuesday morning in Barangay Panan-awan, Cawayan,
Dead on the spot was Joel Guarina, 37, married and a resident of Barangay Libertad, Uson,
A police report said the victim was on board his motorcycle with his wife and five-year-old son on their way to Barangay Mactan, Cawayan, at about 8:00 a.m. when the rebels fired at him.
Guarina's impulse was to increase speed and bring his wife and son to safety before returning to the scene of firing.
The report said he talked to the rebels who engaged him in a heated argument, and eventually shot him in different parts of his body that caused his instantaneous death.
It said the rebels confronted the leader of the Pilipinista Alpha and Omega Vigilantis Fighter whom they accused of being used by the military in its operation against the rebels.
Responding authorities recovered empty shells of M-16 armalite rifle and cal. 9 mm pistol bullets but failed to catch up with rebels that retreated towards an unknown direction.
