State forces are now hunting down a militiaman who shot dead
two of his comrades and wounded another in Tampakan, South
Cotabato Thursday night, the Army said.
Colonel Ronald Jess Alcudia, 27th IB commander, identified
the suspect as Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) member Mark
Anthony Aradaza who, for still unknown reasons, ran amok at 9 p.m. Thursday.
Aradaza strafed his comrades inside the militia detachment
in Barangay Palo, Tampakan, South Cotabato .
Killed on the spot due to multiple gunshot wounds were
Frankly Viloria, 23, and Mark Anthony Macul, 26. Wounded was Camilo de Claro,
23. The victims were all residents of Barangay Palo.
They belonged to 72nd Civilian Armed Auxiliary/CAFGU under
the supervision of 27th Infantry Battalion.
CAA Erick Panes told reporters that the victims were resting
in two separate hammocks inside the militia base when Aradaza, armed with M-14
Rifle, opened fire.
Panes was teary eyed when he recalled the bloody incident
since the victims and the suspects were his friends and comrades.
He said Macul, who was hit in his abdomen, is set to marry
his fiancee in two months. Viloria sustained head injuries and died instantly.
De Claro is now recuperating at the South Cotabato
provincial hospital in Koronadal
City
After the incident, Aradaza fled with his rifle and bullets.
Alcudia has ordered a manhunt.
