Speaking for the North Cotabato police, Lt. Col. Bernard Tayong, said Col. Maximo Layugan, provincial police director, had ordered the manhunt after a witness provided vital information to the local police about the gunmen.
“Police tracking teams are in pursuit of the persons of interest,” Tayong said in an interview over a local radio station on Monday.
The victim, Samama Guiamadel, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds, was driving a motorbike heading towards the town proper when ambushed in Barangay Rajah Muda.
Guiamadel, a Rajah Muda village council member, is currently confined in a hospital in Kidapawan City.
Tayong said police investigators are also trying to determine the motive behind the attack.
