From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 18, 2019): MILF exec slain in NoCot ambush; colleague hurt
Unidentified gunmen ambushed and killed Sunday a ranking official of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and wounded another in the North Cotabato town of M’lang, police said.
Supt. Bernard Tayong, North Cotabato police spokesperson, identified the slain MILF leader as June Pananggulon, the commander of the MILF’s 108th Brigade; and his wounded companion, Toto Mangulayan, both residents of Barangay Gaunan in M’lang town.
“The victims were heading to a banana plantation in the area when ambushed at about 4 p.m.,” Tayong said in a phone interview Monday.
He said witnesses saw two gunmen armed with M16 and carbine rifles fled the area after the ambush.
Pananggulon owns a vast tract of banana farm in Barangay Gaunan.
Initial police investigation indicated that the shooting could have been triggered by a family feud Pananggulon had with another Moro family in the locality.
