Vengeance was the motive behind the killing of a 15-year-old lumad student on Monday in Sitio Laslasakan, Barangay Palma Gil, Talaingod town, Davao del Norte, a nearest kin of the victim said in an interview on Tuesday.
Victim Alibando Tingkas was walking on the way home with two other companions when fired upon by a certain Joven Salangani.
Tingkas died on the spot while his two companions managed to escape unharmed.
Datu Lumansag Sibugan, grandfather of the victim and a tribal leader of Ata-Manobo tribe in Talaingod, said the killing was a vengeance since a family member of the suspect was previously killed by the kin of Tingkas.
Last January 17, Donato Salangani, a lumad farmer and a cousin of Joven, was ambushed and killed in Sitio Sambulongan, Barangay Baugan, by Tingkas’ relatives identified as Luib Daus alias Bagani, Dalahis Manlulugpis alias Carlos and Tudtud Ladahay, who are active members of the New People’s Army (NPA) belonging to Guerrilla Front 55 of the Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC).
Sibugan emphasized that Joven is not a member of Alamara group as claimed by the Save Our School Network (SOS) who earlier issued a statement condemning the killing of Tingkas.
