A policeman was killed and three others were injured when armed men waylaid the convoy of a police general in a village in Bukidnon early Wednesday morning.
Lt. Col. Silvestre Asiong Jr., the Bukidnon provincial police spokesperson, said the group of Brig. Gen. Joselito Salido was waylaid somewhere in the villages of Tikalaan and Dominorog in Talakag town, Bukidnon, at around 6:40 a.m.
Salido, who was unharmed, is the deputy director of the Philippine National Police’s Directorate for Integrated Police Operation for Eastern Mindanao (DIPO-EM).
“Gen. Salido was on his way to visit the Provincial Mobile Force Companies (PMFC) in Pinamaloy, Don Carlos town when the ambuscade happened,” Asiong said.
Salido was visiting the town to conduct an inspection and check the operational readiness of the two police mobile companies stationed in the area.
Salido identified the fatality as Corporal Roel Sumaylo, and the wounded as Capt. Ramil Gighe, Senior Master Sargeant Giovanni Malinab, and Corporal Jerwin Genilla.
Asiong said it was yet to be determined if the attackers were members of the communist New People’s Army (NPA).
Salido's convoy, Asiong said, was supposed to use the Barangay Puerto in Cagayan de Oro en route to Bukidnon but decided to divert to Talakag town to cut travel time.
He said Salido, whose area covers the regions of Davao, Caraga and Northern Mindanao, has been going around parts of Mindanao to check the capabilities of police mobile forces under his jurisdiction.
He said Col. Roel Lamiing, Bukidnon provincial police director, has ordered the augmentation of police officers to secure the area.
