The bodies of two unidentified New People’s Army (NPA)
rebels who were killed in a firefight in Bukidnon were claimed Monday by their
parents, the military said Tuesday.
Police investigators identified the slain communist NPA
rebels as Jubane Saguinlao a.k.a. “Karel” and “Jinggoy” Colao, all of
Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.
The mother claimed the body of Saguinlao while the father
took the body of Colao, after presenting papers, in the municipal town hall of Libona , Bukidnon, Monday, the police
said.
The military brought the bodies of the unidentified rebels
to the municipal town of Libona
in Bukidnon last Sunday for proper identification by relatives or friends, the
police said.
The parents went to Libona after the police reported about
the unidentified bodies of the NPA rebels at the municipal town hall.
Col. Jessie Alvarez, commanding officer of the Malaybalay
based 403rd army brigade, said that the government troopers killed the rebels
in a firefight in the mountains of Kitanglad in Bukidnon last Friday morning.
Alvarez said that the government troopers overran the rebel
camp in Kitanglad during a surprise raid after residents in the farming village of Sil-ipon reported the presence of an
armed group in the area.
He said that aside from recovering the bodies of the two
rebels in the camp site, the government troopers also recovered several loaded
magazines of assault rifles, hundreds of bullets, personal belongings and
subversive documents of high intelligence value.
