At around 7:00 am yesterday, December 7, a unit of Roselyn Jean Pelle Command (RJPC) carried out a punitive action against Mando Ugdiman, 58 years old, in Sitio Tagda, Barangay Dolis, Calatrava, Negros Occidental Province.
Ugdiman was an active military spy serving as guide in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)’s combat operations and engaged in surveillance and coercion activities against civilians suspected of having ties with the revolutionary movement.
Recovered from Ugdiman was one .45 pistol, ammunition and other war materials.
Upon their withdrawal, the said unit passed by a house in Purok 5, Barangay Lagaan where three elements of 1st Negros Occidental Provincial Mobile Force Company (NOCPFMC) in civilian clothes happened to be staying. The Red fighters tried to neutralize and calm them thinking they were civilians. All of a sudden, the policemen opened fire leaving the Red fighters no recourse but to return fire. Killed in the firefight was Police Senior Master Sergeant Rommel Aguilar while the others scampered in different directions.
Recovered from Aguilar was his service firearm (9mm pistol) and several ammunition.
