Village patrol attacked, 1 wounded in Zamboanga town



PAGADIAN CITY – Gunmen attacked a group of village watchmen and an official  while they were patrolling the town of Dumingag in Zamboanga del Sur province in the restive southern Philippine region of Mindanao.

Ladio Bayoy was rushed to hospital by army soldiers who, along with policemen, responded to Monday’s attack in Salvador village. Bayoy was with 5 watchmen when the attack occurred.

At least 10 gunmen were involved in the shooting, according to a report lodged by the victims to the police. The attackers fled after the shooting.

The motive of the attack remains unknown and it was unclear whether the shooting was connected to politics or if communist New People’s Army rebels were behind it. (Mindanao Examiner)
