Bacolod City – Mayor Rogelio Raymund Tongson of Himamaylan, Negros Occidental describe the three Philippine Army soldiers slain in a recent ambush in the town as “modern-day patriots.”
2Lt. Ralf Amante Abibico, Cpl. Joel Nobleza and PFC Carl Venice Bustamante, members of the Army’s 94th Infantry Battalion, were killed in a clash with the New People’s Army (NPA) at Barangay Carabalan.
Four others were wounded in the encounter.
The Army soldiers were conducting community security patrol in connection with the distribution of Social Amelioration Program (SAP) funds of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) due to the COVID-19 pandemic when they were allegedly ambushed by the rebels.
In a resolution, the Himamaylan City Council also lauded the three slain Army soldiers.
