Soldiers killed by lightning in Kalinga
By J.Lo
“My heart bleeds for them,” Major General Audrey Pasia, commander of 5th ID said two soldiers on mission against communist guerillas between borders of Pasil and Lubuagan town in Kalinga were killed not by rebels but by lightning.
Philippine Army’s 5th Infantry Division (ID) identified two fatalities as Cpl. Andrew Monterubio of Gamu, Isabela and PFC Inmongog Aronchay of Sadanga, Mt. Province.
The duo were with other members of their platoon reportedly on foot when lightning struck killing the two.
Four other soldiers identified Sgt. Dennis Bananao of Tanudan, Kalinga; PFC Melvin Danggalan of Paracelis, Mt. Province; PFC Abegil Awingan of Pinukpuk, Kalinga; and PFC Riel Angya of Pasil, Kalinga were also hurt.
Pasia stressed sacrifice of two will serve as inspiration for whole division.
“Ang dalawang buhay na nasawi ng trahedya ay papalitan ng libu-libong sundalong handang tanganan ang nabitawan nilang armas para ipagpatuloy ang sinumpaang ipagtanggol ang bandila ng Pilipinas at protektahan ang soberanya nito,” military official said.
