From Malaya (Sep 22): Army general loses gun to thief in Baguio City
AN Army general lost his cal. 45 pistol to a thief who broke into his vehicle while it was parked near a Baguio City restaurant last Sunday night.
The Cordillera regional police office yesterday identified the victim as Brig. Gen. Ramon Yogyog, deputy commander of the Army’s Special Operations Command based in Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija. Yogyog is a member of the Philippine Military Academy class of 1985.
Police said Yogyog, 54, parked his Isuzu Sportivo at the parking lot of the Solibao restaurant on Abad Santos Drive in Burnham Park to attend a dinner-meeting with his classmates from the University of Baguio.
While driving back to Fort Magsaysay Yogyog said he noticed that the black bag containing his service firearm, a Colt cal. 45 pistol, that he left at the passenger compartment was missing.
“The victim claimed that there was no forced entry on his vehicle and its remote control lock is defective which might (have given) the opportunity for the thief to take his issued firearm,” the police report said.
Yogyog, a Scout Ranger officer, served as the commander of Special Operations Task Force in Basilan that went after members of the Abu Sayyaf Group a few years ago.
