The military claims the slain man was the commanding officer of a guerrilla unit, but the New People's Army in Negros island says he was just a farmer.
BACOLOD, Philippines – The New People’s Army Leonardo Panaligan Command of the Central Negros Guerrilla Front has claimed the alleged rebel killed in an encounter in Guihulngan City in Negros Oriental on Monday morning, November 21, was a farmer who was executed by government troops in front of his wife and family.
The encounter also led to the seizure of one M16 rifle with three magazines and ammunition and other belongings believed to belong to the guerrillas, the 62IB said. But in a statement sent to Rappler, Ka JB Regalado Tagpamaba of the Leonardo Panaligan Command said Baldonado, a farmer, “was summarily executed by 62nd IB soldiers in front of his wife and children at their home in Sitio Columbia, Brgy Trinidad, Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental, November 21, 6 am.”
