The commander of the military’s Western Mindanao Command, Lt. Gen Cirilito Sobejana, said those soldiers were on an “official function” linked to terrorism. He said he asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to investigate because there are different versions of the incident.
“Dahil sa may iba’t ibang bersyon, nag-request po ako ng National Bureau of Investigation dito sa Region 9 na magsagawa ng kaukulang imbestigasyon… Kailangan independent o third-party para po ma-uphold natin ang impartiality,” he said.
