Police and military forces are hunting down gunmen who
strafed a government vehicle along the Cotabato-Sultan Kudarat national highway
that wounded a government employee Thursday morning, the Army said.
Lt. Colonel Edgar Delos Reyes, commander of the 34th
Infantry Battalion, said identified the victim as Virgilio Agad, 56, driver of
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH-12), who was hit in his left foot
and is now undergoing treatment at the Maguindanao provincial hospital in
Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao.
Delos Reyes said Agad was driving a DPWH-owned Toyota Innova
heading for Koronadal City from Cotabato
City
“Despite the injury, Agad managed to drive the car away from
killing zone,” Delos Reyes said in a report.
Motive of the incident remained unclear and police and
military investigation is still on going on.
The scene of the strafing is a well known bailiwick of
lawless Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
