Council condemns ambush-slay of soldiers


THE Davao City Council unanimously passed in its special session Friday a resolution condemning the killing of four soldiers by communist rebels in sitio Cinco, Barangay Mapula, Paquibato District last Sunday.

Another resolution expressing condolences to the families of Private First Class (Pfc.) Ahian Dolero, Pfc. Marvin Lauronal, Pfc. Noel Sigan and Private Marcelo Himaya, all members of the Army's 69th Infantry Battalion, was also passed under suspended rules.

"The condemnation is necessary because the victims are soldiers of the Filipino people," Councilor Karlo Bello said in a privilege speech on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, military officials are set to file charges against members of the Pulang Bagani Command, under the leadership of Leoncio Pitao, alias Kumander Parago, of the New People's Army.

Lieutenant Colonel Innocencio Pasaporte, commander of the 69th Infantry Battalion, was quoted as saying they will file murder charges against the group.

Investigation showed the four soldiers were onboard two motorcycles and were on their way back to the camp when the armed men opened fire and killed all of them.

The bodies of Dolero, Lauronal, and Sigan were recovered right at the ambush site, while Himaya's body was found Monday morning, a distance away. (ANC)
