From the Philippine Star (Nov 17, 2020): 2 slain in Sibugay encounter (By Neil Jayson Servallos) (The Philippine Star 

A murder suspect linked to the Abu Sayyaf bandit group and his companion were killed in an alleged shootout with Special Action Force (SAF) commandos in Zamboanga Sibugay over the weekend.

Jomar Aukasa and his companion, identified as “Buchoy,” reportedly resisted when a team from the 5th SAF Battalion was about to serve a warrant for their arrest in Barangay Sisay, Tungawan on Saturday.

Aukasa, who was facing murder and robbery charges, was the fifth most wanted person in Zamboanga peninsula, according to SAF chief Brig. Gen. Bernabe Balba.

The suspect reportedly facilitated and financed the kidnapping activities of the Abu Sayyaf.

Probers recovered from the scene of the encounter a rifle and a Glock 17 pistol that Aukasa reportedly snatched from a police officer in 2018.
