A MILITIAMAN was killed while two others were wounded on Thursday in a firefight between two groups in North Cotabato, the military said.
Maj. Dante Gania, public affairs officer of the Army’s Sixth Infantry “Kampilan” Division, said members of the Barangay Peace and Action Team led by Ping Kolilong Pulalon clashed for 25 minutes with the group headed by Kagi Tadoy.
During the firefight, a member of Pulalong’s barangay militia was killed while two others were wounded.
Gania said casualties were also reported from the side of Tadoy during the gunbattle, which was reported to have been fueled by a personal grudge.
Pulalon is the barangay chairman of Tugal, Midsayap, North Cotabato. On the other hand, Tadoy is from Barangay Kapinpilan, also in Midsayap.
Gania said the military has already intervened in order to ensure that there would be no more clashes between the two groups. He said the police is currently investigating the incident.
