Remains of two alleged slain soldiers, one CAFGU man brought home

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 8): Remains of two alleged slain soldiers, one CAFGU man brought home

Remains of two slain soldiers and a civilian auxiliary force member on Tuesday were brought to their hometown in Rizal, Cagayan, police said.

Police regional office reports identified the cadavers as Private First Class Jay Tugao and Pfc. Victor Balao-as and Civilian Auxiliary Force Geographical Unit member Jayson Santor, all assigned at the 17th Infantry Battalion of the 5th Infantry Division in Isabela.

The killed soldiers were believed abducted by New People’s Army (NPA) rebels on February 25 in Sitio Turutukan, Barangay San Juan, Zinundungan, Rizal, Cagayan.

Relatives of the victims have reached out to rebel emissaries of the Danilo Ben Front for the release of the captives but they were not heeded, according to the police.

The Commission on Human Rights-Cagayan Valley has also reportedly tried to talk to rebel emissaries but failed too to contact them. The captives were allegedly killed on March 29.

Five months later, the decomposing bodies of the victims were found placed in blankets and wrapped in body bags.

Father Gary Agcaoili, Rizal parish priest said the cadavers were seen by parishioners in front of the parish. The bodies were then brought to Tuao, Cagayan.
