The Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) member killed by New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in in Barangay Igbucagay, Hamtic, Antique on Friday last week, Sept. 24, was his family’s breadwinner.
Michael Mariano, 20, of Barangay Osorio here, was taking a bath outdoors with friends when five rebels opened fire at them at about 7 a.m.
Peter Glen Ocario and John Carlo Cabigunda, also members of the 4th Platoon of the CAFGU Active Auxiliary (CAA) Detachment, were injured.
Herminia, Mariano’s mother, said his son joined the CAA a year ago to help maintain peace in the province and financially support the family after her husband died.
Mariano had three younger siblings.
“Michael was such a generous child. He would send us regularly his salary so that we would have some money to buy food,” she said.
Mariano was particularly supporting an eight-year-old sibling who has learning difficulties and was not included in the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) that only covers a maximum of three children.
“Michael was a 4Ps beneficiary that’s why he was able to reach Grade 12,” Herminia said.
On Sept. 25, Mariano’s family received P20,000 from the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office while his two injured companions got P10,000 each.
They will also be provided with sacks of rice and other food items as initial help from the provincial government, which will also shoulder the construction of his tomb. The Philippine Army shouldered the casket and embalmment.
Hamtic municipal police chief, Police Major Rex Farren, said Mariano suffered gunshot wounds to the chest. Ocario was hit on his left leg while Cabigunda was shot on his left arm.
