32IB assist 4 victims of explosion in Basilan

KUTA SANG-AN, LABANGAN, ZAMBOSUR – The 32nd Infantry Battalion assisted the evacuation of four (4) victims of explosion last 5 May around 10:00 o’clock in the evening at Barangay Malinis Lamitan City, Basilan Province.


According to Lt Col Johnson Jemar D Aseron, Commanding Officer of 32IB, his troops under Cpt Galorio were conducting routine patrol along the city area when suddenly they heard an explosion not far from their location. The troops who immediately responded in the scene of incident immediately cordoned the area and assisted the four (4) victims who suffered minor injuries caused by the explosion and brought them at Dr Torres Hospital for medication. The four (4) victims were identified as Joemar Ignacio, Christopher E Umbac, Jay-r M Ferrer and Mervin L Tinguha all residents of Lamitan City.

Based on the reports, the motives of the incident are yet to find out because the victims are all bystanders in the area when the explosion occurred. The 3rd Explosives and Ordnance Division- Sub Team and the AFP K9 unit with the PNP are still conducting post blast investigation to establish the classification of the used explosives. “The Army will be working closely with the PNP to bring the perpetrators to justice” BGen Lucero said.(With Reports frtom DPAO)
