From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 1): 10th ID units now tracking militiaman killers, abductors of 2 troopers

Units of the 10th Infantry Division are now conducting tracking and pursuit operations against the New People's Army (NPA) band who killed a militiaman and abducted two soldiers in Monkayo town, Compostela Valley Wednesday afternoon.

1st Lt. Alexandre Cabales, 10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief, both incidents took place 2 p.m. at Barangay Casoon, Monkayo town.

 
He added that the militiaman was flagged down and killed by the NPAs first before abducting the motorcycle riding troopers who witnessed the atrocity.

Cabales said the murdered militiaman was detailed at the Casoon Patrol Base while the abducted soldiers are from the 25th Infantry Battalion.

Lt. Col. Mitchel Anayron, 25th Infantry Battalion commander, said eyewitnesses recognized the leader of the NPAs as alias “Jinggoy.”

"Jinggoy" whose true name is Zaldy Cañete is a notorious NPA commander who is out on bail.
