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.
